Don't forget that the F-35 was a joint venture by numerous companies so that cost is spread around. Plane costs have been falling hard with each batch.

grumplestiltzkin posted:That was my point. The program cost is huge, but it's (somewhat) offset on the price per airframe because there's so many airframes. Economies of scale is like econ 101 but lots of people seem to turn their brains off when they see "trillion" in the cost

I'm going to go head and admit that I thought the Boeing X-32 was the better plane but now with recent Boeing gently caress ups in the news can see that the military dodged a bullet by going with the Lockmart one.

Tactical Nukes are being sent to Belarus. Not bikes. Belgorod continues to undergo a siege by RLF with belgorod railway station blown the gently caress up. It's in the center of the city nearly so that says a lot about the incursion.

Mate there’s countries literally lining up to buy F-35s I read something about the US House changing course on Ukraine aid, anything to that? Or is it more to send stuff to Israel and then drag their feet

You sure do seem mad at this one plane in specific. Show me on the doll where the f35 did bad things to you.

boeing did a pr campaign against it because it wasn't theirs and theirs didn't get picked. and the r&d cost overruns were really outrageous, because of the general military-industrial-complex habit of writing absolute dog poo poo software and cutting a release every 6 months

Look, if y'all are going to bicker about the F35 we better start seeing some convention badges. So you'd better be in the aerospace industry or shut up. We'll also accept your opinions if you have the rank of airman first class and play a lot of War Thunder or whatever.

Any mention of F-35 inducing incoherent screeching is a classic tankie Pavlovian response.

I wish f35s were doing secret flights over Ukraine and russia, granting eternal flights at a whim. I even bet russia would threaten to raise the eyebrow if it actually happened. They are already fighting John Hunter Bidens Nato clone soldiers in ukraine anyway.

Because every time another ammo dump goes up in flames or a factory or government bureaucracy mysteriously burns down, I remember and have a small lol.
