I hope the Israelis are able to take this piece of junk and turn it into something worthy of their time to fly and fight with.
White House will take their money and refuse to deliver. Can’t imagine why Israel would buy anything from us.
They can get the bugs out of it...............
Were I Israel, I’d be buying A-10s.
They’re gonna need’em.
Israel and a bunch of other countries have been committed to the F-35 project for more than a couple years.
This might be related to new Sec.of Def. Ashton Carter. He’s been the chief weapons buyer for the Pentagon. F-35s have a cost overrun problem and he’s probably trying to make the embarrassing balance sheet look better.
I’m having a hard time believing Israel would actually sign a deal for F-35’s from the U.S. when they can get exponentially better fighter aircraft from the U.K. or even India. I’m going to watch for a response from the Israeli government on this, to the tune of “Do what?”
This F-35 worries me ,should it be called F-86 ?
