It’s noncredible because it’s an F-35, and we’re pissing off everyone we’re trying to sell them to so hard that people are starting to reconsider purchasing them. Portugal already cancelled their order.

The blåhaj livery is pretty sick though.

And I hope Canada does too, I’ve never liked the platform.

Gimme the Rafale or Eurofighter, but I’d settle for the Gripen.

Honestly all 3 are great platforms, and better at different things.

  • Rafale M is an excellent 4.5gen CATOBAR-capable airframe
  • EF2000 is basically the European Eagle, and the Meteor is one of the best Fox-3s in the world (and meaningfully better than the AMRAAM)
  • JAS 39 basically is one of the best 4.5gen frontline austere-deployment fighters ever made, and WAY more robust than the Viper.

At the same time, despite how wildly outdated it is now, I fucking LOVE how the Draken looks. Definitely in the running for my all-time favorite in terms of looks.

F-35 is the left shark of fighter jets

When I first heard about Sharknado, I just heard someone say the movie title, and this is what I thought they actually said at time. Was expecting some kind of military movie but with sharks.
