Military expert talks about the F-35: Americans always wishful thinking

According to RT’s interlocutor, the F-35 is a multi-role aircraft that can strike at ground and surface targets, and can also fight other aircraft in the air.

However, like any other, it can be shot down.

“It is visible on the radars of any air defense system, so it can be attacked if detected in time,” Litovkin said.

He added that many aircraft in service with the US Army can carry nuclear weapons.

“There is no invincible wunderwaffle.

It’s just that Americans are masters of advertising; they always wishful thinking.

In fact, nothing is universal.

Do you remember when we heard about Javelin?

Here is Javelin in Ukraine (they will appear. -

They talked about HIMARS, we shoot down missiles.

They talked about Abrams, about Leopard.

Well, we burned the Leopard, and now we are burning the Abrams,” the military expert recalled.

He also noted that Russia can counter the F-35 with models such as the Su-30, Su-35 and Su-57.

Earlier, Breaking Defense reported that the newest US-made F-35 fighter jet was officially certified to carry nuclear weapons.
