The US has never made a successful radar guided SPAAG successfully and relies on jury-rigging Stinger MANPADS for everything.
Explains why their SPAAG options suck in Wargame: Red Dragon. Makes me wonder about the CIWS on naval ships.
If the F-35 isn’t as invisible as advertised the US’s is going to have real trouble in any remotely conventional war.
Yeah, pretty sure it was Venezuela that used a Chinese Radar to spot and yell at an F-35 violating their airspace. There's probably other instances as well, but that leads me to believe on top of its myriad of other issues like the auto ordering spare part supply chain issue its DOA.
CIWS seems to work great on low and slow stuff like mortar rounds and various cheap rockets but that's a very different thing from stopping hypersonic missiles that can maneuver right up until impact.
If it turns out that th F-35 isn't invisible to the radar wavelengths used by our designated enemies i will give up and admit we're living in a Peter Sellers dark comedy.
Didn't China and Russia both design their most recent radar systems specifically around avoiding using the wavelengths that stealth planes operate within?

Funny how you correctly diagnose all the insanities of American propaganda in your posts above and then imply that the F-35 will be "invisible" in any way. At best, it's "low-ovservable" in a few scenarios and wavelengths, like when going up against 70s radar technology, but of course that such a rare scenario these days and the F-35 is just such a piece of dog shit in general that I wouldn't really quote any favorable quality of this MIC abomination.
But yeah, I liked your comment about American SPAAG - makes me want to read up the insane testing antics they employed with the Sergeant York SPAAG (M247 I believe?)

I know Russia and China have been working on it, and in an article I found on the Venezuelan thing I saw this comment:
Apparently it was the F-22 actually, which is apparently supposed to be stealthier than the F-35.
