Gee, wut if the $340 MILLION PER PLANE spent on the F-35s was just funneling billion$$ to the MIIC, was just buying sterile impotent white elephants to profit the Daddy Warbucks?
Wut if a very strong AAD nullifies ANY sooper dooper manned Top Gun fantasies?
The current unit cost of the F-35A is $78mil.
Comparable to a Gen 4 aircraft, new.
So in other words ukraine does have strong air defense contrary to what the putards claim.
