    The harrier did need a replacement. I think thats all its gonna be good for. The CATOBAR variant is eh. AF variant is stewpid

      This. Ironically, the B is the best version, despite being the most expensive.
      The C variant is overpriced caca, Navy should've never budged on their twin-engine requirement, and the A variant is just an expensive interceptor (since the moment it gets external hardpoints you lose the stealth, and its performance drops).

        There is no such thing as "losing stealth"
        A F-35A with external hardpoints is still gonna have a lower radar cross section then an F-16 with external hardpoints (which is mandatory)
        And A2A F-35 with internal loadout holds more fuel (18,000lbs) and 4 AIM-120s
        vs an F-16 which has 4 AIM-120s and 2 AIM-9s and 12,000 or 15,000 lbs of fuel depending on whether 370 or 600 gal external tanks are carrier.
        An F-35 with 2 AIM-9s on external hardpoints is still going to be less observable then an F-16 with it's standard A2A loadout

        Of course, unlike the F-35 that piece of shit uses three completely separate distinct jet engines to achieve VTOL.

        Yes but allows you to take off from runaways can’t. They will never be used in a pure VTOL manner, more of a running short take off. Like that one on the Queen Elizabeth that fell into the ocean.

    Just a reminder that the first viable VTOL fighter was British. It wasn't bad, as the Argentinians found out, to the degree that the USAF adopted it and improved it with carbon fibre wings

          Why? The harrier is not much better than the skyhawk, plus the US gave the sidewinder only to the UK. The argies were also limited by air refuel and range, so after the Belgrano sunk I don't think they could had use the Harrier from land like they did with the navy's Skyhawk.
