I’ll be honest, after we pivoted to Afghanistan from Iraq, I assumed I’d never see American boots in Iran. It is inspiring to know that someone has the hubris to go where no one before him dared.

I’m no air fighting expert, but I’m pretty sure the F-35 works alot better when it’s Air based.

With these fuel prices? Are you crazy?

Just mix in some normal kerosene with the Jet-A. I doubt they will be able to tell the difference.

Confusing headline… seems like the A variant is “land based” as in “conventional take off and landing”. The B is the short takeoff and C is carrier launched.

Nah man, I’m pretty sure that the A variant is just a chassis swapped M1 Abrams. That’s the only logical explanation.
