Seriously, where would Skippys boys pick a fight that Uncle Sam was not already there?

Same goes for the UK.  Why on Earth we are wasting billions (£'s) on this clunker (F35) is beyond me. A total waste of valuable resources.
1. Who are "Skippys boys"?
2. Why do you think the F-35 is a clunker?
Not trying to pick a fight, just curious!

is a crockful of wrong information-little better than a fanboy site run by a bunch of con-men and crackpots..

If you check the latest Western study on Air Power Australia you will see that your claims about the Pak T 50 are in fact false.

That Western study supports the claim that the T 50 has genuine stealth properties. And it would be strange therefore for the Russian's to admit it isn't 'true fifth generation'. In any case the same sight contains lots of information and argument to show that the worst fifth generation fighter in the world by a country mile is the F 35.  And on current estimates  a Pak T 50  fighter will cost about 2/3 or less of the cost of an  F 35.  P.S. Air Power Australia thinks the Raptor a much better bet than the F 35.  It presents arguments to show that the F 35 could have problems with the Sukhoi  SU 35.  And surely there has been no crazier weapons program in the history of the world than that of the F 35. All that money and only one engine.

I believe that is what you cited.
 
You're right. But if you knew it was a hopped up A-6 Intruder type going in? Unrealistic to criticize an aircraft
for being and doing what it was designed to do. Match F-16 performance and deliver bombs.   
 
That puts it into the 'solve it in the missile carried and not the plane that launches it" territory.
 
Better hope that a shortened METEOR works.

Talking to 'Shooter' is like talking to the back end of a male cow. You can expect ...  ... for a reply.

I guess we have different deffinitions of "clunker". But what about the other question I asked? IE, Who are Skippys boys? In return I would offer to explain why we waste "Billions" on the F-35, because we can afford to and there is nothing else out there to do the job.
