Yeah, something is not ‘right’ with this
Soon after the incident there were stories around about the software that runs the F35. The OS is shared with other mil aircraft and Airbus. Claims that it was open to vulnerabilities have been around for a while, they said.
Then those stories went dark...
‘Weather was bad, so I punched out” doesn’t seem logical to me.
Even mentioning weather as a fakter is a BS line indicating some kind of mental confusion. Next they’ll tell us Marines can’t get wet-——
If the Chinese or anyone else with money wanted the specs on the F-35, they would have to hack it, they could have bought them from Hillary.

On F-35s, like the Boeing 737max (which started crashing a few years ago), the poor aerodynamic qualities of the shape mean that a computer has to constantly compensate to keep the plane stable in flight.
The F-35 has been referred to as a flying supercomputer, it is so rigged up.
If lightning interferes with the computer, the F-35 won't fly.
I don't see how the computer isn't protected from surges of electricity in the atmosphere, aka EMP, but another Freeper says this has long been rumored to be the case...that, in essence, the F-35 is a fair-weather weapon only, which would be a fatal limitation as thunderstorms are a very common phenomena, everywhere in the world, not to mention the possibility of man-made EMP.
When PDJT started raving about the F-35s, I started thinking he knows something he cannot reveal. Of course my mind went to the possibility that the whole, massive, stealth program, involving trillions of U.S. DoD and black budget dollars, was a cover story for the (expensive) deployment of antigrav capabilities. Some authors claim the engines of stealth aircraft are not big enough to account for their flight characteristics given their weight.
“Soon after the incident there were stories around about the software that runs the F35. The OS is shared with other mil aircraft and Airbus. Claims that it was open to vulnerabilities have been around for a while, they said.”
I work with a very smart guy who worked on the F-35 back in the development/testing period. All software driven. If everything isn’t exactly right, you couldn’t even fire it up.
Don’t know if they’ve changed that, but as long as it’s software driven, it’s a disaster or series of disasters waiting to happen. Especially if it has Chinese chips or it “talks” with other F-35s, which means it’s hackable. I can’t imagine that it’s not also susceptible to EMP - ground-based (aimed EMP weapon), nuke-based, sun-based, or even lightning-based.
