I wonder how much fuel is needed to make the plane hover. I believe is not very practical and they cannot make the actual transition to really fly the plane. So well. Its pointless

I would of waited until the plane landed before celebrating! Nice work though.

i personally think that its easier to shoot down a hovering jet, than a moving jet. anyone else want to shoot some .50 at it?

so are the visual similarities between this plane and the F-22 just a result of both aircraft being designed around the concept of stealth? or some other reason? They have very similar contour lines, this one just looks bulkier and has a single engine...

true but actually wrong

the F-35 is actually called a STOVL (short take off and vertical landing)

Nuke? Have you ever wondered what they mean with precision tactics?

So much Russia bashing here... I personally figure that having a vtol jet fighter is kinda hilarious. In fact pretty much all of these air superiority fighters are hilarious. Why? They aren't useful anymore. No war that has happened in quiet some time has made use of them for their primary purpose: air to air combat. Yet Governments maintain fleets of them for reasons that are very obvious. They are part of the who's dick is bigger contest. I personally would be happy with one nuke.
