The F35 *is* not all that bad, but it *was* all that bad before they got their act together and stopped trying to 10-up SAAB
F-22 no
F-22 is a air superiority fighter
And super fucking expensive per unit
f35 in general purpose
As much as i like the f-22
It is not general purpose
And that's the problem. An air superiority aircraft should never be cheaper than a general purpose fighter jet.
It wasnt
per unit
I'm just reading the writing on the wall. The F-35 is arguably the premier funding fuck-up for 2018.
zumwalt tbh
zumwalt was the same thing as the f22
pretty much
No
except zumwalt production was canceled earlier
The f22 can shoot its guns and the USAF will still have money left over after a few volleys
F35 costs 85 million per unit
Christ that hurts to read
f22 costs 150 million per unit
and keep in mind that alot of electronic systems in the f22 is in the f35
Zumwalt was 4.4B for the hull
Zumwalt is a good ship.
The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. One of the main problems is foreign wars. We've been in Afghanistan for 18 years and its accomplished close to nothing. Allll the way back 2002 top generals were talking about how much of a shit show it was
For testing
Railguns
not much else
legit dont care
F-18 master race
To be fair, the "war in Afghanistan" is more of enforcing a peaceful democratic state at this point.
I hate the washington post but i cant be bothered to look it up elsewhere
Frankly we are now ahead of the chinese by one generation now due to the f35
When you put the annual rate of American causalities into perspective, more people died from being crushed by vending machines than in active combat in Afghanistan in 2019.
china will get to where we are in like 10 years
Russia will never come close however
The documents were released inder the Freedom of Informatoon Act after a three year legal battle
yeah russia is like
really not all *that* threatening
