mpow66m Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) the plane is years over due,and way over budget.RT isnt a good source but it was linked directly from a interview with a Pentagon official.basically its cost prhibitive and we dont need all that fancy gear,it cant even replace the A10.Pentagon Wars II.As for the DAS yes that thankfully is working great.but TPTB want it at all costs and they ll get it.its to big to fail. http://www.businessinsider.com/here-are-all-the-problems-with-the-f-35-that-the-pentagon-found-in-a-2014-report-2015-3 http://www.fighterpilotuniversity.com/wtfo/f-35-issues http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/06/report-in-test-dogfight-f-35-gets-waxed-by-f-16/ Edited October 22, 2016 by mpow66m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 A lot of problems with F-35 are exaggerated. The guy made a plenty of good points about negative propaganda about F-35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you did not read that report that I mentioned in my last post. I know some of the problems have been fixed already and I don't about status of the rest.

There are a couple of points relating to the STOVL variant that I don't agree with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpow66m Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) ok,my comps in the shop,dropped it from 3 feet.not good.im using this old gateway from 10 years ago and it weighs 10 freakin lbs.ill have mine bk today and ill try to find the info.I don't really have anything against the F35 except its bloated cost and over reliance on uness. tech.we could use the 1 trillion(overall cost projected)for a replacement for M1A2.or Bradley....or even better procuring parts for our fighters.the USAF and USMC are getting parts from gravyards and musems,lol.This comes from a USMC 4 star himself. Besides the F22 is more than capable. Edited November 6, 2016 by mpow66m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
