The US spends more on its military that the next nine nations combined. Both its aircraft carrier and F-35 programs have gone way over budget - while America continues to innovate its next-generation weapons for the battlefields of Ukraine.

United States military industrial complex is immensely inefficient. Private companies gouge the US govt. The industry also don't even follow quality controls like other industries. There are claims that until at the end of manufacturing process are products inspected for issues. Resulting in a lot of waste and scraping of finished products that don't meet standards of variation all to maximize job creation across every state so no project can easily be cancelled. So even with their huge budget all other rival countries do a better job through state owned corporations to build their own arms to counter everything the United States has. They even out classing in certain types arms.

@alexlabs4858 Год назад

🤷 Yes it is. We have the plane. However, the plane was designed way way way too advanced for it’s time so it is a massively delayed project that is FAR over budget and still doesn’t have all of its features yet. It still doesn’t have the new GE engines, it doesn’t have the new RAM material so it’s incredibly expensive to maintain, currently $42,000/flight hr. The airframe is also rated for far less hours than the F15. Let’s get this straight… this is an absolutely incredible aircraft. It is the most advanced in the world and in my opinion it will probably keep that title with updates. The plane in itself in my opinion is mostly a success. However, the implementation of the actual program was and still is an absolute failure with so much room for improvement. This project will last for a while so they surely have a chance to turn it around but the past can’t be undone. So yes, we have a plane, but, the people behind the development and launch of projects like this need to seriously get it together. What good is a plane if you can’t build it effectively.

@INTERCONfly Год назад

The F35 gives the pilot a level of situational awareness that no other aircraft that currently exist does, including the F22. This level of situational awareness doesn’t come cheap and that’s one of the reasons the helmet alone costs $600,000. Just ask the pilots that fly it. It’s worth every penny.

Why can't the USS Ford handle the F-35?? I know that the VSTOL F-35B could be an issue if it used its vectored thrust on launch or landing because its hot exhaust requires a special deck surface to handle it. But the Navy's F-35C does not use vectored thrust, so that's not an issue. So, why can't the USS Ford accommodate the F-35 ?

@williamknows3908 Год назад

@gregparrott Год назад

@@williamknows3908 The Navy's variant of the F-35 (the F-35C), was designed from the outset for both carrier launch and arrest. It has stronger landing gear for both launch and arrest. It also has the tail-hook and a strengthened fuselage to handle the loads of a tail-hook arrest. Another unique, carrier specific feature of the F-35C is larger wings than either the Air Force's F-35A or the Marine's VSTOL F-35B. Lastly, the USS Ford's EMALS launch and newer arrest system actually launch aircraft with a softer, more graduated force. So if the F-35 can handle a launch from ANY carrier, it should include the USS Ford. Adding ~$400 MILLION cost to the Ford for F-35 compatibility seems really WEIRD.

People who talk about F-35 crashes don't know what they're talking about. Try looking up F-15 crashes, or any other successful fighter--the F-35 is so far doing better in the reliability department.
