What an effing joke. 8 years of an Obama administration and even our weapons systems get outsourced to the lowest bidder.

Okay let me make sure I understand this. Our enemy (China) is manufacturing computer circuit boards for our First Line F-35 Stealth Fighter Plane? It that right?

We are so fricking doomed.

Doesn't work that way.


Yes it does. LM designed the PCB and anyone can build it. It doesn't take the chinese to build a board to a spec, most anyone can do it including us.

OK. That's still better than scrapping the most technologically advanced fighter jet in human history.

Wrong. The F-15 is superior in ever way except carrier capability. Which is based around contracts more then capability. The F-15 had no equal in it's 35 year run as the air superior fighter of the globe.

The only advantage the F-15 had was better maneuverability. The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar was superior with tremendous range and multiple target tracking and engagement. Phoenix missiles had greater range and more of them on rail. Sparrows and Sidewinders could slave to radar; nothing on the Eagle could. The Tomcat could carry a bigger payload and drop bombs. That's another nope for the Eagle. The F-15 was a superior dogfighter and that's it.
