Yeah right! That is the ticket! The F-35 has been in production since 2006. It was not designed “for this battlefield”. It was designed to replace aging fighter aircraft that were still being used at the time. They cost $100,000,000 or more a piece.

The Iranians just shot one down over Syria two days ago. The Russians are certainly capable of doing the same. And of course, we had the debacle in South Carolina where one went missing after the jet flew 60 miles after the pilot ejected and no one knew where it went until this guy and some others reported the crash.

But yes, giving F35s to the Ukrainians would certainly be a good way to squander more $Billions and reduce our country's ability to defend itself.
