F-35 will cost $400 billion, and still doesn't have a working weapons system

We want to buy 70+ F-35s. You Americans better make it work or we'll sic the abos on your ass.

So far we know its not what its suppose to be, the best. We also know it's costing more and more as the years pass and the countries are cancelling/reducing their orders.

Meanwhile, the competition is getting better and better, aka the Chineses and the Russians.

Fifth generation jet fighters (2005 to the present)[edit]

Other countries have initiated fifth-generation fighter development projects, with Russia's Sukhoi PAK FA and Mikoyan LMFS. In October 2007, Russia and India signed an agreement for joint participation in a Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft Program (FGFA), which gives India responsibility for development of a two-seat model of the PAK-FA. India is also developing the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). In December 2010, it was discovered that China is developing the 5th generation fighter Chengdu J-20.[22] The J-20 took its maiden flight in January 2011 and is planned to be deployed in 2017–19 time frame.[23] The Shenyang J-31 took its maiden flight on 31 October 2012.[24] Japan is exploring its technical feasibility to produce fifth-generation fighters.

You should buy Eurofighter Typhoon

Sukhoi 35 also has vertical take off and it's a lot more manoeuverable than F-35

WooHoo

How the fuck are we going to pay for them?

They could legalize cannabis I suppose, literally cash that grows on trees (well, herbaceous annuals lol)

But they won't. They will tax the middle class Australian worker into the oblivion of paycheck-to-paycheck bare survival misery.

Of course we can pay for them. Hike taxes, cut back on welfare and infrastructure maintenance.

You can't put a price on sucking off Uncle Sam. He protects us from the nasty Chinese.

You Australians should go your own way and build planes adapted to your needs and country. The same goes for Canada.

Relying on others for weapons is always a bad idea. Fuck the globalists and their nwo army.

The military performed a test run the other day to see how well the F-35 could out perform and manuever around ground based missiles. THAT was a HUGE problem. The F35 couldn't dodge them because the missiles couldn't find them!!! THey had to cut the transponders on.

I think the F-35 is way beyond ready. I believe this is reverse propaganda to hide more money elsewhere and to fool our enemies and prying eyes. The U.S. is KNOWN for doing this with weapon systems. So don't put down the F-35 just yet.

While the U.S. has you looking one way and believing one thing, they are doing something else. We have you fooled.

Like the Emperor said in star wars when the Rebels thought they were attacking and uncompleted death star:

"As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!"

And we are currently working on the B-21 Bomber. Why would we do that if we haven't perfected the F-35?

You know the U.S. use to hide different plans of nuclear subs all throughout shipyards making it easy for KGB to steal them. There were over 40 different blueprints, none of them right.

A kgb team was successful at stealing them. Guess what happend? The USSR built it, gave it a trail run, and it killed 126 service men.

The U.S. does this on purpose.

And they called this fucked up species mankind, the only think mankind is kind to is the doom.... anything that progresses the doom is in, everything else is out, way out

I like to laugh at the idiots who buy into the bullshit that the F-35 is a Turkey. There are soo many of you...

well that means whatever weapons system it eventually has will be very advanced and ahead of everything else in the world.

from RT

The Pentagon and the US Air Force are underestimating the risks of scrapping the “unique” A-10 fleet, in favor of the F-35 jet, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office warning that the military is neglecting the “full implications.”

“The Department of Defense and Air Force do not have quality information on the full implications of A-10 divestment, including gaps that could be created by A-10 divestment and mitigation options,” the GAO said in a report declassified August 24.

Maybe you're over estimating those DoD guys... the same guys who have no idea where 2.5 millions small arms are in the middle east. The same guys who gave RPG to rebel despite the fact that we were the only ones with armored vehicule over there and more lol

I really doubt they are on top of their game...

Hey op. That's what they want you sheep and the world watching to know. That it's expensive and not effective.

I like to laugh at the idiots who think it's new technology. :D

It's like, why sell a government a fucking space age weapon when you can basically keep them content with little bits of candy and drag that shit out for 100 years to maximize profit?

Would be bad for business. Still a few generations of tech to be sold to the cabal for eye-watering prices. :)

Pity the turn off switch that allows your weapons to stay active whilst theirs aren't isn't sold to them as well.

I forgot to add - Think back to when the nuclear silo's were remotely deactivated. Think that sort of tech. :)

:(

This forum is controlled by GCHQ or some shit and all the sensitive / touching sensitive subject stuff that's not mainstream gets put to one side.

Please stop and if you are going to censor shit don't make it so obvious. ;(

Eurofighter still does not have a working radar
