Harrier Jump Jet and F-35 Lightning II Strike Fighter Jets

The Sea Harrier has beaten the F-15, F-5 and the MiG-29 in mock dogfights. I think I'm also right in saying that the JSF can't use its nozzles in air combat like the Sea Harrier can.

America's need for a vertical takeoff jet was not a great as the UK's. American carriers are twice the size of British carriers and can support more capible supersonic aircraft. Still the Harrier did it way before we did, nice work.

1) "patreotic" is spelt Patriotic.
2) Us Brits have ordered 138 of these to accompany our lovely 2 new carriers, due to enter in 2012. The harrier is outdated, and if Iran make a move before the F-35 comes in, we're dependant on the U.S.

Call me British patreotic, but I think the Harrier rocks, how many years has it taken America to come up with something like it? The F35 can go super sonic, but the Harrier is as old as my Dad, so come on! Auto pilot is cool, but the harrier takes more skill, I knew a harrier pilot, and he rocked, try harder because I'm not impressed.

I was looking for a decent video about the Harrier Jump Jet and this video was fantastic! But the F-35 is something else altogether. Awesome.
