One photo showing the same bomb carrying capacity as 1/3 of the modern RAF.   


(Just a sobering observation.  I understand that a single F-35 could do more damage to the runway at Stanley AND degrade air defenses more effectively than all the Black Buck missions combined).

Assuming they hit the target.

And yes, I KNOW they have GPS and lasers and all that stuff.................

They would have to get there first, do they have the range? And I do know they can refuel, still it's a heck of a long way, far further than any ferry flight and with a weapons load too.

They have a boat (or two) to give them a lift...

Two pilots for that range to go could be an advantage.

Now there's scope for a Whiff, a TF-35B, hmmmmmmmmmmmm

But the F35 is such an ugly bird .

[PR19_Kit]

True, but sometimes 2-seater versions can look better than the single seaters, the Su-27 being a case in point.

On the other hand, some are DISASTROUS, like a Typhoon! 

Other opinions are available, and equally valid of course.
