The WartHog shits all over the F-35 any day of the week. The F-35 is a disgusting of spectacle waste of taxpayer money and abuse. It's rife with corruption, cronysim, and sheer headedness to put dangerous equipment into our military that just doesn't work and and endangers our pilots and soldiers in the field.

F-35 isn't and will never be the answer.

Yet it will eventually outperform everything except the F-22, which isn't really it's competition anyway.

Baddest infantry support airframe of all time. Wanting to scrap the Hog is like Gibson not making Flying Vs anymore.

Are you trolling? The F-35 loses to older aircraft. It is a massive money black hole that is largely a piece of shite.

The program should be entirely scrapped

It lost to the F-16

It can't fly in cloudy weather.

It is detectable on radar.

The F-35 is a complete and utter failure to its very core.

They should just give the A-10s to the Army

It's effective in so many ways. One being a morale booster. They always made you feel better when they were in the area.

And on top of all that, that POS aircraft costs $1.5 trillion.

Not billion.

TRILLION

The fact that it hasn't been scrapped yet is an affront to the most basic ideas of intelligence.

AC-130W and the AC-130J for starters.

Precision bombs are dropped just as effectively by any other fighter, and those fighters can get to the fight faster while the Stinger II and Ghostrider can stay on target for a MUCH longer time.

The article you linked was written by a loyal fan of the F-35. He probably owns stock in Lockheed as well.
