JSF Fan,
quite a few of us have been through this charade with previous generations of aircraft.
It will be late, overbudget and less capable than promised.
Every other one has been, and Governments and major manufacturers haven't changed character, so why should this one be any different?
Tell me about it, we have gotten the tiger and nh90 and our procurement ignores advice from the ADF and the pollies decides and then blames the ADF/DMO when it stuffs up.
what I would like acknowledged is that the price of a f-35 being 2-3 times more than 4th gen is unsupportable, I have given the SAR which shows the URF super hornet is $66m and the f-35a is $73m, now unless someone can give a decent reason why this is so wrong. It is silly just ranting silly numbers
