F-35s are garbage.
They don’t have anything except a little stealth. Negate that and they’re a sitting duck that can’t turn and burn or climb like a lot of better platforms.
Waste of money.
I’ve recently become more amenable to both positive and negative opinions about NATO military hardware. The enemy is a bully looking to take more real estate again (expansionism, invasions). If he sees more negative opinions, we’ll get it over with sooner. If he sees more positive opinions, we’ll get a little more time to prepare individually.
The awful F-35 is a done deal at least to the end of its production plans, though. We’re all stuck with it. ;-)
And as for World War 3, let’s get it on.
