[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 2524400, member: 53239"] That is not true. I just prefer to be optimistic and believe the experts, not Trump. Yes, the costs are outrageous but you are paying for next generation stealth technology. "Lt. Col. David Berke says there's no comparison between the friend-35 and today's jet fighters." "Without the friend-35, says Air Force Chief General Mark Welsh, the U.S. could lose its ability to control the air in future conflicts." In aerial combat, the plane that shoots first wins, so it all comes down to detecting the enemy before he detects you. The friend-35's combination of information technology and stealth would give American pilots what Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle describes as an astounding advantage in combat. Robert Schmidle: I shouldn't get into the exact ranges because those ranges are classified, but what I can tell you is that the range at which you can detect the enemy as opposed to when he can detect you can be as much as 10 times further when you'll see him before he'll ever see you and down to five times... *60 minutes a few years ago did an article called, "Is the F35 worth it?"
