Na osnovu relativno pouzdanih (ruskih) izvora izgleda da su Ameri odbili ponudu Japanaca da zamene Turke. Da li je to istina ne znam ali kažem, ovi Rusi su uglavnom pouzdani izvor.

F-35's next engine to reach for more range
Citat:One criticism – among many – of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is that the fighter lacks the range needed to conduct long-range stealth strike missions. While Lockheed Martin has studied adding external fuel tanks to extend the aircraft's range, slinging the bulky hardware under the F-35 would ruin its minimal radar cross section, giving away the stealth fighter's chief advantage.

A što je pilot bio dezorijentisan? Najlakše je da okrive pilota i da se nastavi šišanje ovaca!

Citat:In the 1991 Gulf War, the front-line concrete lily pads never showed up, so the jump jet had to fly from distant full-size bases or assault ships. With their very limited fuel, they were lucky to be able to put in five or 10 minutes supporting Marines on the ground — and they proved tremendously vulnerable to machine guns and shoulder-fired missiles.

Even when it isn’t launching and landing vertically or being shot at, the Harrier is delicate and hard to fly owing to the complex vertical-flight controls and the minimal lift and maneuverability of the tiny wings. By the early 2000s a full third of all Harriers had been destroyed in crashes, killing 45 Marines.

“The Harrier was based on a complete lie,” said Pierre Sprey, an experienced fighter engineer whose design credits include the nimble F-16 and the tank-killing A-10. “The Marines simply concocted it because they wanted their own unique airplane and wanted to convert amphibious ships into their own private carriers.”
Članak star 5 godina. Cela prića kako su marinci navukli dizajn Harierja za celu flotu.
Harier je potpuna laž, kaže dizajner F-16 i A-10 Pierre Sprey. Trećina harierja je do 2000 bilo uništeno zbog pada i sa njime 45 pilota.
