It's a bit sad watching Sweetman spirial down to the depths, isn't it


perhaps this set him off? Lockheed, Pentagon reach deal on 71 more F-35s: source | Reuters
Lockheed Martin Corp and the Pentagon have reached agreement on orders for the next two batches of F-35 fighter jets, a deal worth over $7 billion, a person briefed on the discussions told Reuters on Monday.

The deal covers 71 of the radar-evading planes, with 36 jets to be purchased in the sixth production lot, and 35 in the seventh. The total includes 60 F-35s for the U.S. military, and 11 for Australia, Italy, Turkey and Britain.
PS, thanks to the few who validated my opinion. I couldn't post on the Typhoon thread because there doesn't seem to be one running. ln fact when the typhoon is mentioned, there seems to be a lot of staring at the ground and shuffling of feet
