another strike against the F-35

Our pilots are gonna eat shit flying this thing. Even the Aussie's and Italians are cutting their orders down. It's the ineptitude of Vietnam all over again, history is literally repeating itself.

That things been under dev long before Obama, probably Bush too. And yeah you didn't fully read the article or you'd see why the bipartisan support of this piece of shit is what's kept it going. Lockheed distributed production of this pig throughout multiple states so that no congressman and senators want the project killed cause it brings so much money into their state.
This is the fundamental problem with DC that no one wants to look in the eye because the entire military industrial complex will be called into question. This is a complete fleecing of ALL OF US. 1 trillion fucking dollars. Republicans will shut the govt down over all this other bullshit but nobody seems to care about this. This is joke. By the time this thing would be fully vetted and fit for duty even the Chinese might have their own home grown fighter that would keester the F-35. The Russians probably already have something that would weave floral patterns in the sky all around the 35.

or a military industrial complex that is go obese that it necessitates so many unnecessary systems in order to spread out production, for the sake of political leverage. Likely about money in the end. In Russia I think they just say make this fucker go as fast as possible, as high as possible....and turn like it's on rails. Then we'll add shit to it piece by piece so that one thing doesn't shit can the entire design. I think they're asking the Lockheed engineers to do too much too soon. Materials research is probably not at the level necessary for some of the things these guys are thinking up. What's concerning is that think tanks assessment that basic fundamental principles of avionic engineering have been fudged. I understand if you have weapons that can shoot without the plane actually looking at the target, that you don't need the thing to turn like a bat....but then you make it a high energy fighter that can power out of a turning match with a more nimble opponent...get altitude/distance...come back for another go. But they didn't even give this thing that. The Russian planes will out turn this thing and also outburn it. I guarantee no current pilot who grew up on sound fundamental air to air combat efficiency will like this thing for shit.

It probably is a fat ass whale of a loser aircraft. But so what? We've had them many times. Things will turn out fine. Take your prozac and calm the fuck down.

We still have F18s, & F22s that outfly anything Putin can put in the sky.
-
And our A-10s can handle anything they roll across the ground.
We'll be okay.

Russia's 4th gen upgraded planes would wipe the floor with the 18's and be such an equal to the 22's that it would come down to pilot skill if they got close.

6 crashes in 6 weeks.
Cause: too much flying

I can truly say you have no idea what the absolute fuck you're talking about.

Read this before you get your panties all bunched up over the f-35. It's not a dogfighting jet. The F-22 is.

Walter go away and come back when you have a clue. I can truly say that you're a complete idiot and moron without a single ounce of any redeeming intelligence or a picogram of analytical insight...nothing to definitively say i'm part of an advanced species with an intellect superior to that of the common beast. You don't. There's apes out there more aware of shit than you are.

There's what happened in the past when American engineers got over enamored with the beyond the horizon kill mentality. Yes it absolutely matters that the F-35 can't turn with an aircraft from the 1980's that was loaded down with fuel tanks and missiles. YEah you heard that right. A clean 35 got hammered, took home a DONUT, against a 1980's aircraft that was travel fit.

Here's why the Australians think the F-35 is a pos. I guess we convinced them to still buy some but this video is from 2010 when it appears they wanted nothing to do with it. "Can't climb, can't turn, can't run".

You need to watch that last video about a joint excercise from 2010 where the Russian fighters peed on the F-18's. I mean really F-18's? Even back in the day they used the F-14's as the dogfighters to cover the 18's bombing runs.
