The F-35 Is One of the 5 Worst Fighter Jets Ever Made
- bediger4000 8y agoI think they're comparing the F35 to other fighters on the wrong basis. "The F-35 is a case of massive over ambition to develop one base airframe that can be adapted to replace half-dozen specialized jets. The result is an expensive jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none." Who says the program was to solely to develop fighters that can outmatch J-20s (or Su-29s or whatever)? Maybe the point of the program is to funnel money out of The Pentagon, and making a fighter is only a second-order effect? Nobody can know, given compartmented, classified knowledge.
