re: #267 jamesfirecat
Do we even have an actual F-35 to test? I.thought they were still briefing designed/redesigned (again).
In my opinion the F-35 is the Air Force equivalent of the Bradley AFV (and for almost the exact same reason, inability to decide on being fish or fowl) and if you do not understad why that is a bad thing, go watch/read “The Pentagon Wars” except this time it is “Trillion, with a ‘T’”
No, they’re in low-rate production now. And as for the comparisons to the Bradley, do remember that the Bradley ended up being highly effective at killing the Soviet-built BMPs that were its designed foes.
