Just add another problem to the long list of failures on the design. And to think, we had to pay for that piece of shit.

It is an embarrassing waste though.


Also, the Chinese do have hundreds of thousands of ICBM's...

Apparently the Navy has already forgotten what they're suppose to do. I'm sure republicans will use these incompetencies to ask the democrats if they can increase spending on the military.

Re: 15% of US F35's don't even have working engines.
It is actually worse than 85% fleet readiness assuming that the multitudes of other problems besides the engines aren't really lowering it down closer to the 60% area which is closer to what I have read. That is abysmal by the way.

But the main problem is that they are super maintenance hogs. Even if working at 100% readiness level they couldn't fight any sort of sustained war and maintain any sort of readiness level.

They are good for an hour and back into the shop they go. They are like a high end european car that is always in the shop. Russians can run their Sukhois and MiGs almost nonstop for months with basic maintenance. An F-16 can do the same but they are so outmoded at this point.


F35s are basically good for once daily missions on defenseless third world countries with junky old SAM systems. Not a real war.

It is just another symptom of America being corrupt to the core and falling apart.

I keep imagining that all the money that was supposedly spent on the F-35 was actually funneled into a secret weapon that will remain secret until it appears on the next battlefield.

There has been numerous who claim to be nobody.

Nobody was smart, tactile, and mobile when I was in the desert.

I fled and nobody followed. Nobody would know where I am.

Nobody liked art just like me. Nobody can explain it to me. Nobody was just my dream.

True.

I've heard from good sources they're constantly scavenging parts from one F-35 to get another into the air. Fleet readiness is a total disaster.

The whole F-35 debacle has been so poorly handled from the beginning it only makes sense if it's part of a plan to defang the US so it will lose the upcoming war with China.

I always suspected that to be the case, and now that the US military is going woke I'm 100 % sure of it.
