It seems there is not much good news about the F 35. I'm not sure if it's because of the fighter jet or because negative press always sells better than the rosier versions.

F-22s were supposed to get the upgraded Multifunction Advanced Data Link that the F-35 has, but surprise, that was canceled five years ago due to cost.

and I suppose the HUD for the F-22 as well “due to cost”.

Committee designs always have problems that are very expensive to fix. 180 rounds for its cannon is a joke all to itself.

But this is about the F-35 being fine, and the F-22 having an issue.

The F-35 Lightning II jet can’t communicate all that well with its little brother the F-22 Raptor.

I'm sorry, but the F-22 is the BIG brother...

This is about the 22, not the 35

It will probably cost a fortune, so if you have the means, it may be good to check out some Lockheed Harris stock.

Did Jamie Gorelick have a hand in the design?
