F35 jet has crashed into the sea...why?
<< < (9/26) > >>
BravoV:
F-35 is a scam by MIC, you do not need to be an expert to know, that this flying submarine does not ooze confidence, looking at it's track record of keeps diving into the sea while not even in fighting.

So how many Harriers went for a swim when they first came out. What beats me is they spend so much money on a plane that under war time conditions life span will be measured  in hours if no minuets. Guess that is why the shift to drones and missiles.

Yet, they can not beat farmers wearing slipper carrrying half century AK-47, for 20 years.  :-DD

well the harrier makes other safety records look great. But I think the branch using them has some responsibility, I recall reading angry rants from marine air mechanics and pilots that had to work 80+ hour weeks dealing with harriers, with the notion that the air-force counterparts worked ~45 hour work weeks on/with their planes (a general long term average number that someone conjured), they claim the long hours lead to poor safety and accidents

at the end of a 80 hour work week I would not be surprised if someone tried to tank one up at a 7/11
