In total it costs about 1.5 trillion dollars. Is it worth the investment?
F35 program

Blake Clark
Yes.
Lincoln Smith
Just look at it. It's ugly. I'd say it wasn't worth the investment, in fact it would have been worth paying to scratch the project, so that people don't have to fly in that coffin.
Brayden Sullivan
We're trying to sell it to a non-SATO, non-SETO country that could easily become an enemy, so you know it's a meme.
William Green
Can some high iq user explain to me those wavy patterns on the hull? Is it bolted plated or what is it?
Brayden Murphy
1.5 trillion to develop and build 2,500 f35s and maintain them to 2045 you retard.
Would have cost 3 trillion to maintain legacy f16, f18s and f15s to 2045. And legacy aircraft design would almost be 100yrs old at that point
Ayden Cruz
looks sexy, way better then you eurofighter
Owen Nguyen
I should think they could afford paint for that price.

US would never sell a weapon they dont have a hard counter to. Its basically a way to get the wests air-force dependent on the US military industrial complex, buying planes and parts for years for a weapons platform that is completely compromised and vulnerable against any conflict against the US.
Gavin Hernandez
Yes, it's a necessary step in the progression of fighter aircraft; the manned drone control suite.
Sooner or later, we're going to have to remove the pilot from the air superiority fighter, and the fastest and most sensible way to get this done is to keep the pilot in the air in a supporting role, managing the future autonomous battlespace.
