Chicken Little Alert
Yeah, it is.
The JSF meets it’s performance bogeys as spelled out in the JSF specifications.
Those specifications do not reflect an aircraft that ‘can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run’
The F-35 does exactly what it was intended to do and does it well.
And what is that intention specifically? Sit on the runway and catch fire?
This thing is going to be the biggest boondoggle for our troops since the French tried to build a machine gun.
I know what you are saying is correct but I cannot help but wonder although one of these things will be able to out fight 5 Chink fighters, will it be able to out fight 100?
