they can use the damaged plane for spare parts then. not all of it is lost.

yes now marines are becoming very redundant if you look at it closely. they are also dumping their heavy equipment are sort of becoming a very light infantry force. i dont understand the purpose of the marines now.they were originally made to be specialized naval infantry used for port adn...

making few of them compared to total fighter planes does not make them specialist.quite the opposite as time goes by and fifth generation aircraft become more common. i have a feeling that f35 can become to usa like tiger 2 was for germany,taking valuable resources away from more practical...

if they cut production nos now,then ironincally it will become even more costlier and it will turn out like the b2 spirit or f22 scenario. like it or not , usa is stuck with f35 i think for good or bad.they have to modify and live with it and make it work. it just needs to be a 'm4 sherman' of...

f22 wont have been a lemon if they went ahead with it.they stopped production,ordered small amount which further led to costs per plane skyrocketting and this also killed any further development of the aircraft type.This was due to the inherently stupid idea of 'the right side of history' which...

f16 was also very plagued when it arrived,it got better with time and became a workhorse.most of the time it is not the platform itself but the nos too.you can kill an f35,but in the large scheme of things the adversaries warfighting capability will be destroyed for comparitively less no of f35s...

what the us should watch out though is being swamped and out manufactured and over costing of its equipment which will inevitable lead to less no of equipment it can purchase using the budget given and become like the british right now.the plane itself is fine,but it shouldn't be like the story...

i think the f35 is a good-enough plane that will age well like the f 16.i think it will be the f16 of the future us air arm. its story is like the panther in the late german army of world war 2.it had technical issues before it became reliable and powerful.same issues are faced by the usa...

F22 can't be made again as the production factories have been closed and so they had to come with a clean new design.it is just that the usual procurement and development habits of the usa do not have much respect for being financially prudent and also they might have made some design decisions...

is stealth the only main difference between 4th and 5th generation fighter. because if it is i think the f35 is very less bang for the buck even though it might be marginally better than the previous fighters. cant 4th generation and 4++ generation fighter also carry longer range missiles and...

There i also the fact that many private defence companies of usa are starting to become ofbesque in that they are becoming very costly as their factories are located in multiple states to produce a single product due to politics as representatives want their constituents to get jobs.however in...

it is more fundamental.it was envisaged for use as a replacement for a10,navt f18 and airforce which caused the complexity.they should have gone for a maximum of 2 roles of fighter and bomber alternate and left cas for a dedicated aircraft.
