The $1 Trillion Question for the F-35: Is the U.S. Buying an Inferior Plane?
15th August 2015
Hint: Probably.
A new report by a progressive think-tank says the astronomically expensive F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is inferior compared to other “near-peer” competitors and will be mismatched against emerging threats.
The study by the National Security Network states the jet, the most expensive weapons system in U.S. history, will not only be outmaneuvered and outgunned by Russian and Chinese aircraft but will also be limited in range and its stealth capabilities will be easily overcome.
They’ve been trying to buy one single plane for all three services since at least the sixties, and it’s never worked.
