In the United States drew attention to the "bomb marking" F-35, striking in Afghanistan

Materials appeared in the American media stating that F-35 fighters made more sorties with strikes against militants in Afghanistan than officially reported. We are talking about fifth-generation fighters F-35B, which belong to the United States Marine Corps (ILC).

It was previously reported that F-35 were involved in two cases of air strikes at militant positions in Afghanistan.

Tweeted about the emergence of photos showing "bomb markings" in front of the F-35B USMC. These are images of air bombs applied by American pilots after completing combat missions. "Bomb marking" is made in two rows and corresponds to two types aviation ammunition.

Aviationist suggests the use of laser-guided LGB aerial bombs and GBU-32 JDAM bombs (all-weather correctable) are indicated.

Allegedly, Americans used the capabilities of an aircraft carrier to strike terrorists in Afghanistan fleet. So, the F-35B, as stated, took off aboard the Essex universal landing ship (LHD 2). This ship, as part of a U.S. Navy ship group, performed combat missions in the Indian Ocean in September 2018. On the tail of the aircraft you can see the designation of the combat ship, of which it is part of the wing.

From a statement by US military experts:

The number of air bombs reflected on the F-35B Marine Corps suggests that the number of sorties to Afghanistan was more than the two that were mentioned earlier.

Well, actually they have been bombing since September 18 ...
For the first time in a combat situation, to attack targets in Syria, the F-35 was used by the Israel Defense Forces in May 2018. In 2019, Israel continued to strike with the F-35.

On September 27, 2018, the press reported that the US ILC first attacked the Taliban positions in Afghanistan with F-35B aircraft. "More than 100 sorties" were reported to Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria during the deployment of the Wasp-class LHD-2 Essex amphibious assault ship in the region.

March 01, 2016 General Dynamics National Steel and Shipbuilding Co. (NASSCO) received a contract worth $ 156,6 million for modernization. Work completed in 2017. What allowed to place on board its deck aircraft F-35B.

[Thrall]

Something is not enough space for marking each ammunition used by the aircraft.
It's like in a joke about a filled ashtray in a Mercedes of a new Russian

[spech]

The most interesting thing is that with a closed hatch, markings will not be visible!
Or staged or photoshop.

[Shurik70]

Or the number of drawn bombs does not mean the number of sorties, but the number of bombs dropped. If you take cluster bombs, then you can draw so much in one flight

[Samaritan]

Given that the cargo compartment of the F-35B modification is smaller than the F-35A and F-35C due to the fan installation, there were not 2-3 sorties, but specifically on this instance 25

plantations do not bomb after all ...?

[Same lech]

Found something to brag about ... the indigenous people of Afghanistan do not have C-300 and C-400 to respond against F-35.

Did the Aboriginal people in Syria have a strong air defense?

[Same lech]

Not yet ... holes, or rather holes in the Syrian air defense system, allow Israel to bomb its territory with impunity ... rest assured that if Syrian air defense is brought to mind, your pilots will have a hard time almost at the Israeli airfields themselves.

No, I'm talking about those who were bombed and bombed by the air forces.

[Same lech]

Well, here all the means are good ... after demonstrating the abilities of the Gigilov cutthroats to the whole world, I welcome all the advanced methods and methods of bombing ISIS militants ... the more the better.
I like how they beat on their fortified and command points ... what a pleasure you get when the white helmets of the Anglo-Saxons begin to yell about the barbarism of the Russian air strikes against the Ishilovites.

[knn54]

Aron, the Aboriginal people had enough money. This is evidenced by the losses of the Russian Federation and the ATS.
But the “main fighters” against IS did not have any losses. And there is no need to talk about the levels of training, about the superiority of technology.

Yes, when do you start the story to teach ????

All the time, some future declension is used ...

How many Rakhs have re-equipped the Arab countries air defense from scratch?
How many tens of thousands of our military advisers were in these Arab countries?

And anyway.
The Israelis destroyed to zero all the air defense of all the Arab countries. with whom they fought ...

Well, the Arabs have no chance.
Though you give them a diamond sword ...
no.

And even the presence of thousands of Russian instructors - for some reason gave the same result.
Air Defense - always became equal to zero.

Well, at least once teach military books ...

bonnet-bearers, you are marshals from hats ...

[Dikson]

Yes, and in Africa things were no better .. Here in Vietnam, our military experts were clearly a good judge ...

[Jerk]

And now they don’t fly further than Yemen

[gurzuf]

The Pentagon admitted that F-35 fighters still do not meet operational readiness objectives and, despite some progress in reliability, the three versions of the fighter break down “more often than expected.” This was told by Robert Behler, who is responsible for testing the weapons.

Well, what no and Israeli F-16s still shot down.

[silverwolf88]

of course more (who thinks the truth is on Plus) ... they just work out the possibility of the combat use of the F35 there ... after all, you need to train on someone to make improvements and develop recommendations for use ... Afghanistan is very convenient ... no surprises and counteraction to flights and bombing ...

[knn54]

-F-35 were involved in two cases of air strikes at militant positions in Afghanistan.
It was EXACTLY known that the Taliban did not even have MANPADS.
Where are the other bombs?
They sold it.
And where is the money ?.
In the bags.
Where are the bags?
Under the eyes ...

[The leader of the Redskins]

And why was there such secrecy?

[Alex_You]

Why convene a press conference after each bombing, and tell with pathos that 100500 terrorists were killed? Two times they bombed and said about the first application, and that's it, the study ended, the robot started.

[The leader of the Redskins]

I’m used to the pathos of our news journalists. Habit .....

[Thunderbolt]

The "bomb markings" were applied imperceptibly - not in the usual place, but on the doors of the bomb bay. You can't see it right away.

[Errr]

Only more correct:

... on an inconspicuous sash chassis compartment.)))

And the rest -

[Thunderbolt]

Accepted!))) Hehe, it sagged so much, and you first noticed.

Seriously? Is that a question worth discussing?

this is a shock for anyone who is sure that the F35 isn’t flying, doesn’t shoot iron!

[rocket757]

"penguin" flies, shoots, wears bombs .... but this is not discussed.
About him "we are waiting for" evidence of many other things, declared, advertised.
By the way, the iron can also fly, only low and not long.
PS ... guess. Where he flies, he cannot demonstrate anything interesting. Not in front of anyone. It just works out the flying hours, which is also necessary, however.

It is alleged that the Americans used the capabilities of the aircraft carrier fleet to strike at terrorists in Afghanistan. So, the F-35B, as stated, took off aboard the Essex universal landing ship (LHD 2). This ship, as part of a U.S. Navy ship group, performed combat missions in the Indian Ocean in September 2018.

To enter Afghanistan from the Indian Ocean, you must cross the territory of one of the states: Iran, or Pakistan, or India.
Passing "imperceptible" over the entire country for the radar, it is possible to assume, with a stretch, but visually "invisible" - a bluff. Contrail is usually present often. And first of all, such flights must be agreed in advance with the state, over whose territory the flight is planned.
It indicates the type of aircraft, and parameters, including speed and flight level. So, these are cheap fakes of self-promotion.

[Dikson]

The USA and Pakistan have long-standing friends, they could have missed without posting ... but if the neighbors didn’t notice .. - then the F-35 is not as bad as many people think ... Interesting, but those two officially confirmed departures - according to them is there somewhere information about speed, flight level and type of aircraft?

[Alex_You]

I noticed that the name of the pilot is Koz.

[soldat tv]

It's like carrying manure on a Mercedes. I wonder how much is one flight of one miracle called F35-B? "Out" F-16 to bomb the aborigines with Kalash.

[Glazkov]

Previously, pilots marked airplanes for downed planes ...
The Americans, as always, are ahead of the whole planet, they put marks on dropped bombs !! ;)
What a fight? He threw off the bomb, let’s tsatsk!

[ender]

oh, these Americans ..

[Evil 55]

Let the pilot’s diapers count and apply the used amount to the fuselage .. Here are lovers of stupid stickers and unnecessary signs ..
