    One plane every 3 days ?
    Can we replicate that in shipyards ? The Navy direly needs those achievements..they did before during WW2, every Liberty ships every 24 hour...😊😊😊

      He was bad in math. 150 airplane a year equals to every 2 days.

    Is the C variant more manueverable than the A variant? I mean the C variant has bigger wings

    So, more or less, they only produce around 150 planes a year. That's friggin slow. It's safe to say that if an all out war non-nuke war happens between US and a near peer country, they're both limited to all the planes that have when the war started.

    1:05 and you have already claimed that something called the F-35 is "the premier fighter jet in the world"! The trouble is there is no F-35 in service, There are 3 different types. The ASA, the F-35A, the inefficient, easily squashed F-35B, and the marginal F-35C. You could have been closer to the truth if McDonald Douglas had stuck to the agreed project, and produced three aircraft with an 80% commonality of parts. They didn't, they failed on applying the dream. The 3 variants don't even have a 20% commonality of parts. Funny how you commentators NEVER mention that massively expensive mistake/error. I doubt the F-35B is capable of fighting equals against a Gripen, or a Rafale, or a Typhoon. It can manage 2 missions every 7 days. A Rafale can mount 11 missions a day.

    As often as you see broken Teslas on big car channels generally in some part funded by other automotive manufacturers you'd think we'd get it.
    Someone is doing something to these. Otherwise these issues would be at least equally prevalent among owners and people wouldn't buy them.
    However, that's just not the case.
    Don't be a sheep, think 🤔

    Seems like nothing but a commercial for LM and the F35. Should have at least spoken about the many negatives of the plane. The cost overruns that are immense, the extreme number of flaws that have been plaguing the airframe. The horrible record of combat readiness. Oh and the maintenance cost that is the worst of any fighter jet in history. Combine that with the fact LM retains ownership of all data for the plane means even though the government and ultimately the taxpayer has funded everything about this aircraft and LM still holds all the cards on it for the future. That means the massive amount of service required to keep it flying is all controlled 100% by LM. This will go down in history as the worst airplane in the history of the United States. If it seems I am down on the F35... Yes, I am very much against it. LM makes some great planes. I think the F22 raptor was a fantastic plane. The F16 was a fantastic plane. The F35 is a pig and a horrible choice. Oh one final point, Russia claims its radar can already target the F35. If true... then what? We have bet the farm so to speak on the stealth of the F35 by making one for all three branches of the military.

      You're approaching the F-35 as if it is an alternative to the F-22 or the F-16. What you need to realize is that the F-35 makes those "aircraft" obsolete. Don't be confused by the fact it has wings and carries missiles, the F-35 has the radar capability of an E-2 or E-3, and a spy satellites worth of sensors and networking. It has superior electronic warfare capability to an EA-18G and has superior situational awareness to any other combat aircraft fielded by any nation.
      No one pretends that the aircraft is invisible, and 5th generation stealth isn't optimized around making an aircraft undetectable. Instead, the design and systems of the F-35 are meant to be low observable to radar guided weapons. An adversary may be able to see that an F-35 is out there, but the weapon they try to hit the F-35 with will likely be unable to find it.
      The criticism is often that the F-35 is a jack of all trades and a master of none, but as the saying goes a jack of all trades is better than a master of one.

      For sure. A lot of folks didn't think it would be completed.

      Australian pilots of our 72 F35s love it.
      Your silly fearmongering looks like Russian bot posts from 5 yrs ago. "Russia claims" LOL...the Russians lie about everything and people like you slurp it up as fact.

      The F-16 was originally a product of General Dynamics.
