Here's the tl;dr of the JPO response.
It's old news. Nothing exciting to report.
But look over here! We actually DID GET SOME STUFF done, with a piffling few billion in R&D and production and who knows what in operational costs. Airplanes were built! Maintainers trained!
Oh by the way, the report is accurate. Just don't read the bits about how we prioritized schedules and spec compliance over delivering a product that works, or how 2B/3i can't be deployed in combat without supporting assets (not tankers, either).
We have TOO fixed SOME earlier problems and we're working REALLY REALLY hard on the others.
Please throw us more money as planned.
