Donald Trump Thinks that the F-35 is Invisible to the Naked Eye...

[Brian37]

It's both hilarious and sad at the same time. I swear one of the military guys in the second clip is trying not to laugh. How can anyone be this stupid? He just spent the past week insulting the military and veterans and now this...

He says a lot of stupid shit.

You know what I'm not sure that Trump thinks they are invisible to the eye.

What he said was vague enough, to on this occasion, give him the benefit of the doubt.

Remember he is a man who speaks exclusively in hyperbole so he may be just exaggerating.

I was not aware that trump and thinks, could even be used in the same sentence.

Anyone knows that a cloaked warbird emits tachyon particles that can be detected if you alter your deflector array.

I mean shit, does this guy know nothing about quantum engineering 101? Wouldn’t want to be apart of his space force.

All that fucktard knows about "engineering" is that if you need a load of concrete you send a bag of cash to Vinny Three-Fingers with the Gambino family.

‘Even if it [the enemy] is right next to it [the F-35], it [the enemy] can’t see it [the F-35].’

Doesn’t sound at all vague or ambiguous to me.  It sounds as if someone tried to explain stealth technology to him and what he heard was ‘invisible plane’.

I was just going to post something similar to what Boru posted. The first clip you could maybe give Trump the benefit of doubt by the way he worded it but the 2nd clip removes all doubt. He thinks the planes are invisible to the naked eye.

I can personally attest to seeing a B-2 wing-over in flight and seemingly disappear from sight. I can also attest to the fact that I used to be able to hit targets with great accuracy at the gun range using iron sights (cover 5 shots with a dime), and now need to use a scope. There may be a certain amount of credence to the lack of optical visibility to the F-35, based on another 30 years or so of development on low observable technology. But "invisible" won't be in the "real" lexicon of low observable tech for awhile yet, as far as I know. I haven't worked in that industry in over 25 years. It may well be that the chump was mixing up the fact that the F-22 (which I did work on) can attack enemy aircraft before they (F-22s) can be seen, even on RADAR. An enemy won't know they are under attack from a missile until it is WAY too late. Of course, in the chump's case, possibly 1 word in 10 successfully passes his filter correctly.

Maybe my eyes are bad but they seem pretty visible to me.



Perhaps the photo was taken with a super un-stealthy camera?

Perhaps around 51% of them are invisible in the air since they're grounded?
