🇷🇺 Russian jets are more rugged and can operate in very harsh weather conditions.

One of the reasons why Israeli IDF is so much respected. They are using this same US made aircrafts in endless conflicts and have not lost a single of them either in enemy fire or accident while using them to inflict maximum damage to Iran, hezbollah, hamas, houthis and syria.

pilots are more valuable than planes.
It doesn't matter the firepower of the tool what matters is who is using it.
Israel and Ukraine has proven that a modern war.

Comparing a 4th gen fighter to a 5th gen fighter?

Su-57 v F 35 would have been a better comparison.

A 🇺🇸 US fighter jet burst into flames after crashing at a military base, with the pilot managing to escape unscathed.

Footage captured at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska shows the F-35 fighter jet barreling to the ground before exploding on Tuesday afternoon.

The jet can be seen flailing around in mid air, while the pilot safely descends underneath a parachute before it burst into a ball of flames.

It remains unclear what caused the pilot to eject and send the jet crashing to the ground at this stage.

In a statement the 354th Fighter Wing's office described the incident it as causing significant damage.

They said: 'The pilot is safe and has been transported to Bassett Army Hospital for further evaluation.'

Col. Paul Townsend, commander of the fighter wing, added: 'Our people are our most important resource, and we are committed in ensuring their safety and security.

The F-35A is US the Air Force's latest fighter jet that had replaced the F-16 Fighting Falcons, and the A-10 Thunderbolt II's.

According to Air & Spaces Forces Magazine, the average price of one of the jets is roughly $81 million.

The jets are long-range supersonic jets that come with stealth capability, and are also capable of reaching anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere in one mission.

It comes after a similar F-35 jet crashed in rural South Carolina in September of 2023, with the pilot also parachuting to safety.

The jet went missing, with officials asking the public to call in if they had any information on the jet, causing a media frenzy. They found it a day later.

I commit USA the great into God's hand.

USA the great did not choose to be a world leader, destiny in the guise of circumstance made her the leader.

All the wishful enemies will keep receiving their high dosages of disappointments and shame, when they come to confirm the fall of USA the great.


This is nothing but training. It is better to make these types of mistakes in high adrenaline training or advanced trainings; so that, when its action time, it will be minimal mistakes. During iran barrage, over 200 planes were in the air, in a high stakes environment, not one accident occurred.


American allies like the great Igbo tribe, should not over look the possibility of Chinese using stealth spacecraft lasers or other electro means to interfere in this and other incidents.
Also, could the software of this plane have been hacked, to the extent of bursting an engine. It could also be that it was a maintenance issue or overlooked repair issue.


USA the great should arm the igbos to the fullest. Don't worry about defensive weapons, don't worry about paying for resources for 4 years - the igbo nation will make it's own way to eat. Just flood the igbo nation with very mean toys that can reach all the way to Egypt if the need be. The great state of Israel needs to take note, arm the igbos, make the igbo nation the most armed secretly, so that Egypt will not think of joining the other terrorists for another 6 day war. So, arm the igbos. Without saying much, do it. The world is picking sides, if nothing, for the next 4 years. So, do it without too much thoughts. Hopefully, the igbos will mature faster and be ready to grow at alarming pace. The igbos need to be borderless with states, really look into housing and enterprise- with foresight on the enemies around.


Anyways, the USA is still great and will always be very great.

At least the pilot made it out.

But $81m for just one plane? Well, a defense budget close to a trillion dollars can afford that and the maintenance.

The Su35 "Flanker" is a 4th generation fighter, similar to the F16 "Fighting Falcon" and F/A18 "Hornet".

The appropriate comparison for the F35 is the Su57 "Felon" as both are 5th gen fighters.

Actually given the superior avionics of the F35 and its single engine, the better comparison should be between the Felon and the F22 "Raptor"
