United States Marine Corps general: F-35Bs give us the ability to dominate the air and sea

69

The United States Marine Corps has issued a release stating an increase in calls for the United States and allies in the Indo-Pacific. China with its growing economic and military power is seen as the main challenge. The United States makes it clear that they are ready to spend enormous efforts and resources to contain the PRC.

The ILC release states that a second squadron of fifth-generation F-35 fighters is being created in the Indo-Pacific region.
The message indicates that the F-35 universal stealth aircraft will replace the F-18 carrier-based fighter-bombers, as well as the AV-8B attack aircraft.



From the release:

In this regard, the 242nd naval assault squadron of all-weather fighters was reorganized into the 242nd naval fighter-assault squadron, which will be based exclusively on the F-35B multipurpose carrier-based fighters.

The first squadron was created in 2017 based in Iwakuni, Japan.

According to some reports, the second F-35 squadron will also be deployed on Japanese territory.

Brigadier General of the United States Chris McPhillips, Commander of the 1st Air Wing, Marine Corps (Okinawa, Japan):

F-35Bs give us the ability to dominate the air and sea. It is an expeditionary platform that literally opens the door to the Marines and the combined forces. The basing of the F-35B in Japan is not accidental, it happened here faster than in other parts of the world, which testifies to our commitment to the alliance of Japan and security in the Indo-Pacific region.

    In the Indo-Pacific region, they can dominate where they have no enemies. China has the S-400 for such a case.

        "Penguin" will continue to dominate, where there is no air defense and modern aviation, no question. And he "works" in such places.
        Are there other examples for comparison?

          Maybe we can figure out the main one? To start. Is there no air defense in Syria? "Pantsiri", "Buki", S-300, etc. Not enough? By the way, the saturation per unit of territory is orders of magnitude higher than in Russia. At the same time, even "Khmeimim" only comments on another object bombed by Israel. Or a PR in the form of a meeting in the sky of the Aerospace Forces fighters with the "Penguins" flying to the bombing would be superfluous to promote our aircraft on the market? No! It means that they sit like blind kittens and can't even see the "netels" at close range.

            Do not rush my slippers ....., of course, they will "put me in a corner again" for this, I will repeat it anyway .... there is air defense, normal, full-fledged, in only one place. The rest is all ..... about nothing and nothing.
            Yes, I will add, there are so many CONTRACTS, NON-GODS, that any ... anyone will drive you crazy.
            Everything, there is nothing further to discuss, NOT AN INDICATOR, for nothing.
            PS .... there is an indicator! Comprehensive protection of one specific object!

                About the air defense there, people expressed their opinion more informed, I just agree with them, because it corresponds to what was taught earlier.
                About the quality of their own air defense and the contingent that controls everything there, I have my own idea, albeit from those distant times, but judging by the reviews of our specialists, nothing has changed, in general.
                It is always worth remembering that air defense is a whole complex of means and measures that ensure its effectiveness !!! There, and a third is not necessary, not done .... for objective or some other reasons! That's why they fly, bomb and .......
                In general, this is not an option for assessing what really needs to be done and is being done where no one dares to fly, no "invisible people" will dare there.

            They see everything. The F 35 has long been seen as other aircraft. They'll have to be shot down. While they do not interfere with our base. F 35 is a flaw in many respects. The Americans have learned to shake off their trash with threats long ago.

                  Since you have finally switched to the American language, I will also call the Russian word lie a fake to make it clearer.
                  But what a fake it is, if about the destruction of several hundred Assad and Russian mercenaries (not counting which of them died more), the CIA director and future Secretary of State M. Pompeo first officially declared, after which the Kremlin (very reluctantly and through clenched teeth, in the face of D. Peskov with M. Zakharova) acknowledged the death of Russian citizens near Deir Ez-Zor, carefully emphasizing that they were not servicemen of the Russian Ministry of Defense, that is, they were either tourists, or private security guards or PMCs, or someone else.

                      and confirmed (citing Assad) that at least 250 people had been killed.

                      Der Spiegel sources among the pro-government military say that between 10 and 20 Russian mercenaries have died.
                      An interlocutor at the Deir ez-Zor hospital told Der Spiegel that about a dozen bodies of Russians were brought there, and a source at the military airfield said that the bodies of the dead Russians were brought there in two cars.
                      In total, according to the newspaper, more than 250 people died. 80 of them were Syrian military personnel, about 100 were from Iraq and Afghanistan, and about 70 were members of tribal groups. "

              The F-35, created by the most powerful and technologically advanced country in the world is "bad", but was mass-produced six months ago in the amount of 500 pieces (now, probably, much more), and having orders in the USA and around the world still by thousands.
              And the Su-57, created by a poor developing country, is very "good", but it does not seem to exist, and the very first production copy crashed. And even the Indians, who spent a lot of their own money on the development of this airplane, refused it.

            To start. Is there no air defense in Syria? "Armor", "Buki", S-300, etc. Not enough?

            when do the talkers writing this nonsense come to an end ??? Firstly, in Syria, air defense is not echeloned, but on-site, and, moreover, does not have early warning systems. This allows Israeli planes to easily stay in the shadow of the Lebanese mountains. Second, the Israelis in all cases carried out attacks from the airspace of either Lebanon or Iraq.
            At the same time, even "Khmeimim" comments only on the next object bombed by Israel.

            already every more or less reading person knows that the Russian air defense around the Khmeimim and Tartus bases protects only Russian objects. It is not concerned with protecting the Syrian military infrastructure. But the balabolians with the flags of the USSR on their avatar continue to carry nonsense about "our air defense systems in Syria are powerless"
            No! It means that they sit like blind kittens and can't even see the "netels" at close range.

            the favorite pastime of the communists and liberals is to throw a spoonful of homne on Russian equipment and lick the American one. After all, this is the best manifestation of love for the Motherland in their opinion.

                        1 War for independence
                        On May 14, 1948, Israel declared its independence. Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen did not agree with the UN decision on the partition, sent regular troops into Palestine and started a war. The ultimate goal of the Arab League countries' actions was the destruction of the newly formed Jewish state How it ended and what we lost is known.
                        2 Six Day War
                        On May 18, after the rapid withdrawal - in fact, the flight - of UN forces from the Sinai, Cairo radio broadcasted an official statement: "As of today, there is no international force defending Israel. We will no longer exercise restraint. The only method will be total war, the result of which will be the destruction of the Zionist state. "
                        "Our forces are fully prepared for the destruction of the Zionist presence on Arab soil. I, as a military man, am sure that the time has come to join war of annihilation"- said the Minister of Defense of Syria and the future president of the country Hafez Assad. (papa)
                        On May 30 and 31, King Hussein of Jordan signed military pacts with Egypt and Iraq, and their troops began to arrive in the country, including 155-mm long-range Iraqi Long Tom howitzers, from which Tel Aviv could be fired from the West Bank.
                        The Israelites spoke little these days, but did a lot.
                        AND IT WAS ENOUGH SIX DAYS TO SOOTHE THEM!
                        How it ended and what we lost is known.
                        3 Doomsday war
                        Saturday 6th October 1973. At 14:00, the armies of Syria and Egypt simultaneously attacked the Israeli positions.
                        They repeated what Nazi Germany did, but even more refined.
                        On Judgment Day when NOTHING works in Israel
                        communications, transport, the country is paralyzed and at 14 o'clock the sun is in the south and blinded the pilots, they LOVELY attacked.
                        How it ended and what you lost know
                        29 years as there is no USSR and lies live and pleases the soul of the ignorant!

      The general is active, not retired.
      It took the Marines time to get used to the F-35.
      The plane is complex, it is not a Harrier with a primitive radar and manual control.
      Conducted exercises, appreciated the benefits. Accustomed to more complex service.

    Now this airfetish is trying to find its place in the us aviation. A fighter, in fact, no, an attack aircraft, without armor, so they will soon test it for the role of a strategic bomber! For Ф35, a tanker will fly forever so that there is enough fuel, and this tandem will be considered one aircraft - a strategic bomber!

    F-35Bs give us the ability to dominate the air and sea. It is an expeditionary platform that literally opens the door to the Marines and the combined forces. The basing of the F-35B in Japan is not accidental, it happened here faster than in other parts of the world, which testifies to our commitment to the alliance of Japan and security in the Indo-Pacific region.

    That this platform for air domination did not help the Americans, and under the brave cries of victory, the invincible flee from Afghanistan and Iraq.
    A commitment to alliance, only words! She did not play with the American protege of Pashinyan and 080808 in Georgia, and it is not a fact that she will play in Japan. The Americans are taking a fight with a deliberately weak opponent
