In August 2020 the United States Air Force was set to receive its 250th Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, and with that milestone, the fifth-generation multirole stealth warplane became the third-largest fighter fleet in the service’s fleet. That number also accounted for nearly half of the total F-35s of all variants delivered worldwide to that point.
The Air Force’s program of record is to purchase and acquire a total of 1,763 F-35As – and 48 of the advanced aircraft have been requested in each of the last three budgets, while Congress has also increased the purchase in recent funding cycles.

LOL
Biden will put a stop to that, pronto....................................
Most likely. The defense cuts could be horrible.
Wrong link?
Gotta pay those poll workers in GA, MI, AZ, NV, PA.........................................
I expect this program to be cut substantially.
Along with the B-21, Naval expansion and Trident boat replacement with the Columbia.
And the Minuteman III replacement is dead meat.
And it’s not just because these people are fools. It’s because they want America to be destroyed...or at least in subservience to China.
Turns out Russia was the very least of our worries.
Link is wrong.
We don’t really need a military anymore. The left won’t use it to protect us. The only use for the military in a leftist world is to put down domestic unrest, or get involved in some obscure corner of the world to keep money going to the military-industrial donors.
Ping
It may be the backbone of the USAF but neither it nor the service have any balls left.
Correct link, sorry!

Thanks!
Sorry!
Biden plans to cut the military by 50%, end advanced weapons programs, sign really bad treaties with the Russians that gut our nuclear triad, and reduce our commitments to E. Europe and SE Asia.
Meanwhile we will fund Germany’s military.
Putin is happy about this as well. Putin knows OBiden will sell out the US to them. It’s in their blood.
I heard that Biden has already asked for some info on that and the military has refused.
Oh no worries. My brother (former Navy pilot) was involved with the F-35 somehow (I forget..design..implementation...don’t know) so wanted to send it to him.
Gotta refocus the military on fighting Domestic Terrorism.
Joe Biden is the legitimate President of the US.
Leprechauns prefer to ride on unicorns.
