I’m confused. if you listen to some people, the F35 is an over priced POS that can’t perform.
Why are so many countries, paying that high price and fighting to get them? A POS that the Russians and Chinese will easily defeat in combat?
Perhaps warfare has changed.
Just curious.

Truth be told, I suspect the American taxpayer is footing the bill for most of those foreign purchases.

Also maybe they are a better aircraft than we have been told. Or it could be Lockheed has funneled enough money into congress and hired enough retired generals that any flaws are simply over looked.

Maybe it’s because the people you listen to are full of sh#t.

Just a theory.
