Harrier vs. JSF-35
The JSF will be very late and very expensive.
The British have not even started to build the Aircraft Carrier yet that it is supposed to operate from ! It is a pity that the Harrier was not developed further ? An 'Invincible' Class carrier with Harriers and Osprey AEW is probably the way to go for the UK ? I don't think we can afford big carriers anymore? Big Carriers are very vulnerable to the 'Super-Torpedoes' that are being developed. The Second World War saw the end of the Battleship the time of the Super Carrier ending cannot be far away ?

You already asked this question once last week, and were told quite clearly that not only was the answer "no", but further that you are utterly clueless in regards to the harrier, the F-35B, and things military in general. Give it a break. Brooks snip further garbage |

The main contractor and supplier has been selected and the design assessment phase is in progess. It is a pity that the Harrier was not developed further ? It was but the limit of the technology has pretty much been reached. An 'Invincible' Class carrier with Harriers and Osprey AEW is probably the way to go for the UK ? I don't think we can afford big carriers anymore? The ships are no around 25 years old, are too small for the task allocated and the harrier is obsolescent. Big Carriers are very vulnerable to the 'Super-Torpedoes' that are being developed. But small carriers are vulnerable to aircraft already in service. The Second World War saw the end of the Battleship the time of the Super Carrier ending cannot be far away ? A prediction first made in 1946. Keith |
