I’ve said it many times before, I hate the airplane because it is a product of the greed of Lockheed at the expense of a good airplane... the F-22. They lobbied against their own airplane to promote and save the money for this POS. The F-15SE with upgrades could easily and well fill the role of the F-35 for the USAF. Navy and Marines? The VSTOL F-35 is a payload and range joke.
People on this project have made whole careers out of it and it still is not finished.
The two platforms are not interchangeble. Not even close. The F-22 can’t do the F-35 mission and the F-35 can’t do the F-22 mission.
