Military Admits Billion-Dollar War Toy F-35 Is F**ked

F35 fuck up

Where is the GOP led congress?  Isn’t defence their big issue?

Officials are finally admitting the F-35 fighter has turned into a nightmare—but it’s too late to stop the $400 billion program now.
Way back in the early 2000s,  Donald Rumsfeld had a dream ….had a dream. He would show his business chops, developing a “universal” jet fighter that could do, well, pretty much everything that the military asks its different fighters to do.

 

Now, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is six years behind schedule and tens of billions of dollars over budget. The $400-billion fighter program has inflicted huge damage on  America’s finances and war readiness. Meanwhile, the jet lacks maneuverability,  testing is way behind schedule , software is still incomplete existing weaponry will nto fit into its weapon bays ….. . Ans  the three versions of the F-35 jet aren’t nearly as compatible as the military had promised they would be.
The planes are so expensive that re-equipping all of the Air Force’s fighter squadrons with them would compel the flying branch to first cut a fifth of the squadrons.
