So...even if they give it a new engine...which might give it the same range...compared to the Chinese jet which is superior " in all aspects"... The F35 will still be a lemon?
-Isn't corruption wonderful? It might save us from WW3 if the bigwigs actually realise they've blown the entire budget on boondoggles that don't work.
They must at some level...recognise the disaster of war-winning wunderwaffe which litter the fields of Ukraine but spending on the junk will never stop.
The Brit version of this game of course is the Challenger 3: well worth investing in since the epic gubbing and removal of Challenger 2 in the self same Ukrainian pastoral landcape but forget all that... according to General Buffton Tuffton "The Challenger 3, is our new Main Battle Tank for the future..."
Yet apparently it seems...it's not going to be not a new tank at all but merely an upgrade of the latter glorious battle failure: and at 6.3 million a pop per conversion too.
-Rust never sleeps....
