1/6 F-35 JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER IS A LEMON
Military expert Pierre Sprey, the founder and designer of the F-16 & A-10 Warthog airplanes, explains why the f-35 will not cut it on the modern battlefield.

Personally I think it's great that the US military system has fallen so far into corrupt incompetence. Every war the US ever started was begun with a lie, and it's just been getting worse and worse. Time they received a damned good thrashing. Which is exactly what they are going to get, if the US people don't get a grip on their government and arrest and gaol all the warmongering psychopaths.
The F-35 is also a useful measure of the Australian government's corruption and insanity. So long as our government still has even one F-35 on order, we can know they should all be shot for treason; for betrayal of the nation. Meanwhile look up TAFE chaos. We can't even run our crucial education systems properly, but we can afford these obscenely expensive utter lemons? Which will make us sitting ducks for regional military forces with enough sense to build or buy functional planes, or more practical missile systems. Nuts.
I hope you realize that in any _serious_ war (which will be the US and any NATO nit-wits stupid enough to go along with the US, vs Russia, China, and practically the entire rest of the world) will _immediately_ go nuclear. Because it will be started by the USA, and Russia makes no secret that they will use nukes to defend their land, and China and Russia now have a mutual defense pact.
There will also be a lot of things that never saw hot combat before. The large range of supersonic very smart anti-ship missiles for one, that all sane analysts (and US wargaming) know will eliminate virtually all NATO surface naval forces within the first few hours of conflict. All on the Russian, Chinese and Indian side it seems. Sunburn, Yakhont, Brahmos... Russia licensed the technology to India, set up a factory there, and so now they are commonly available to all non-NATO navies. There was an Indonesian navy ship docked in Sydney some years ago, with rows of them along the sides when I walked past in in Garden Island.
There are also submarine smart drone nuclear weapons, so there go major coastal cities. Also tsunami-building phased deep ocean nukes, for wiping out coastal areas in a completely unstoppable way.
Everyone who thinks the next war is going to be glamorous and heroic, is in for a rude shock. Or an unpleasantly messy death more likely. If you _do_ survive the initial conflict, you'll get to see the radioactive death of the entire biosphere and human civilization, as all the nuclear power plants and radioactive waste stores that were damaged in the war leak their nuclear poisons beyond any hope of control. Do you even understand the word 'epigenetics', or know what a knife edge between cumulative genetic errors and error correction by fitness/survival, our entire living planet rests on? There's a reason why life didn't begin on Earth until the background radiation of the original star-formed materials had died way, way down. Billions of years that took. So go ahead, have a nuclear war and wreck all the nuke plants, lets do _that_ all over again.
Why does it have to be me that posts this stuff? Are the rest of you so completely media brainwashed that these things have never occurred to you?
Those of you drooling over shiny military hardware, why don't you watch something more mature? Here:
