Country:  | Agreed even with the Harriers VIFF the Harrier has no chance against a F-35. Even though I saw some Marine Harriers in action over Iraq and man can those things fly.

Country:  | but that's it flyboy, the F-35 isn't that quick to VIFF, as such, in combat, the Harrier can easily evade and get on the tail of a F-35......

Country:  | The F-35 would be back on the Harrier's tail soon after though. VIFFing isnt everything in an air to air battle, if it was, all planes would be designed to be able to do it.

But even before even getting that close, the F-35 will acquire, track, shoot, destroy, and have the kill making painted on its side before the Harrier pilot knows what happened!

Country: | One that you have to remember is the Harrier was not really built for dog fighting it was built as a strike fighter. For Ground Attack. If you look at most of its armament it is for bombing and ground attack. And that is where the real characteristics of the Harrier some in handy.

Country:  | What are the chances that the Canadian Forces will select the F-35 as the next strike fighter, to replace the CF-18's in the Air Force by 2017? 
If you said "remote", you're probably correct! 
No, there have been rumblings about it, but I doubt very much they'll go with the STOVL model even if they do go with F-35's. We'll see. | |

Country: | A-321 - the Zeppelin is a much bigger target and is slower
