Why the F-35 Is Now the World’s Most Dominant Stealth Fighter

The F-35 Lightning II is now the world’s most dominant multi-role fighter. Its detection range, geolocation, threat identification, and system response capabilities allow the jet to precisely fix and destroy the most advanced threats in the world including every layer of Russia’s latest SA-20 surface-to-air missile (SAM) system.

1.4 percent is tiny considering the market... Lol.

re 2606 reminded me of the transport guy in cornwall who used to have a Lightning in his yard (EE not LM). Beats having a gnome in your front garden...

Germany’s to-do list: A spring of (in)decisions is brewing in Berlin

As the European Union wrestles to assert its role in world affairs, its members are increasingly looking to Germany and France. But the two allies have yet to find their groove when it comes to weapons cooperation and joint operations. The recent Munich Security Conference added new assignments to Germany’s to-do list, taking the already immense expectations of Berlin to a new level.

Big hit today, suppose its for no real reason other than general market jitters.

Sorry Wad, distractions all around ATM. Nice share price high today, long may it continue,...

Saudi aren't very good at anything. They're to lazy and incompetent to fully take over maintenance and servicing of a fleet of aircraft.

[lithological heterogeneities] 21/2/2020 10:46

That is regarding Tornado,not Typhoon.Tornado is near the end of its working life and Typhoon is taking over.

[wad collector] 21/2/2020 10:44

Saudi really wants to get rid of as many expats as possible in all industries. Trouble is , they are not very good at managing , too corrupt and nepotistic.

[wad collector] 21/2/2020 10:41

Yes come on RW , you are not responding fast enough to your newsfeed Telex.
I do like the look of the share price ; almost tempted to trade a few out....
No, on second thoughts, so much looks good here that I won't until £7.

Thanks NH.

Lovely bonus. Shares and cash.

Reliability continues to improve, but slowly...

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter reportedly still doesn’t work right, according to the latest annual report from the Pentagon’s chief weapons-tester.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 20/2/2020 14:27

Time will tell that's for sure.

US/China definitely ramped up spending. Vaguely recall USA budgeted to spend another $60-70bn odd extra for this year alone...

[patientcapital] 20/2/2020 14:01

I'm more in the Deloitte school of thought. 3-4% global defence expenditure growth this year ought to be enough to underpin guidance with a few extras perhaps.

BAE recently completed the £1.7billion purchase of two defence businesses
The company has an order backlog of £45.4billion from countries like Australia
HMS Prince of Wales has a flight deck big enough to house three football pitches

[crossing_the_rubicon] 20/2/2020 12:13

All chugging along nicely...bar the Pension deficit

Wonder when the Defence spending boom is going to materialise??

[patientcapital] 20/2/2020 12:11

I know. Good news nevertheless.
