Nossa! A Itália com todo o seu know-how com aeronaves de combate teve que se contentar com as asas. Fico pensando, será que para nós sobrariam os rebites?!
Norwegian F-16 pilot with some interesting comments on aerial warfare and the F35:

Since the article is written in Norwegian, I will give a brief summary of what I found most interesting:
From his experience with the F-16, having a helmet sight and missiles to take advantage of it makes the pilot less reliant on superior maneuverability in a dog fight. An aircraft with low RCS and good electronic countermeasures will also be detected at shorter ranges, than an aircraft that is lacking in these departments provided they have the same radar.
The F-35 can operate at altitudes 10-15 000 feet higher than the F-16 and it has 30-70 % more combat range since it carries much of its fuel and weapons internally (good for aerodynamics). It also has a cruise speed that is 50-80 knots higher, which means that it can fire its missiles quicker since it doesn't have to accelerate that much (high speed = more range for the missile).
Perguntaram pra ele quando é que os F-35 operacionais vão estar prontos pra combate aéreo, aí ele tentou fazer o cálculo na cabeça mas o número gerado era demais pra memória RAM dele, aí ele super-aqueceu e deu reboot.Bolovo escreveu:Deve ter perdido o ar depois de ver o preço do F-35.

Em relação a Portugal:
Need highly questionable
Concordo.
