I am constantly bringing forward articles about the massive corruption behind the Lougheed Martin F35 "Lightning II" so called 'fighter' aircraft that has been an unimitigated DISASTER from the day the US military decided to go with the program..... It is such a titanic waste of money and the end result will be a "fighter" aircraft that will leave the US much much weaker than its adversaries.....Lets not pull any punches here... The US government has already spent upwards of 400 BILLION dollars on this F35 program and the net result has been nothing short of a cataclysmic failure... The so called "fighter" aircraft is so overpriced per unit, and is a drain on any nation that wants this POS to replace their own aging fighters.... It is much slower than its adversaries and has lost badly in simulated dogfights against older aircraft due to its lack of maneuverability... It cannot fly in the rain.....In its initial design it could not fly at night.... It has a ridiculous single Vertical Take Off And Landing (VTOL) engine that runs super hot causing wear and tear on the engine itself... Its VTOL engine is a gas guzzling horror that burns fuel at an alarming rate and thus limits its range and capabilities for any support... It carries a woefully inadequate weapons load and until recently did not even have a gun for dogfighting!.... It has horrible on board computer problems that can cause severe malfunctions especially if this lemon ever sees combat......AND to top it all off, its "Stealth" is a complete fraud and every single adversary will be able to see this piece of junk clearly and shoot it out of the sky! Now comes a most interesting article from the Mail Online news site, at www.dailymail.co.uk, that further shows the waste that this F35 program has become... The article is entitled: "F-35 In Crisis As Pentagon Tests Find 276 Faults In $400 Billion Jet's Combat System And Warn Full Tests Might Not Begin Until 2019".... It is a long article that presents both the pros and the severe cons of the F35 and I have the link to that article right here for all of my readers to look over carefully.... I have my own thoughts and comments to follow:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4125830/F-35-crisis-Pentagon-276-different-faults.htmlNTS Notes: Yes, the Mail Online is still pushing out some propaganda that shows some of the "good side" of this flying POS, but I and others that have looked at the real facts know different...One glaring point that was put out in this article and one that should have everyone up in arms in the US is the FACT that the criminals behind Lougheed Martin are now fully aware that incoming President Drumpf has been wanting to "re-evaluate" the entire F35 program and his administration is seriously considering scrapping the entire F35 for the cheaper and more dependable and resilient F18 Super Hornet.... The result has been the crooks at Lougheed Martin now coming forward and having the audacity to say that they will "reduce" the price tag for the F35 to keep the program alive! THAT fact clearly should tell everyone exactly how crooked Lougheed Martin truly is in how they have been OVERPRICING this flying hunk of junk from day one just to pad their own profits! And if this proves to be the case, then the entire program should be scrapped instantly and a full investigation into Lougheed Martin should be launched immediately! Price gouging of the American taxpayers should be a red flag instantly...The reality is that the F35 has been a disaster from day one... The entire program was based on the idea of one plane to replace all of the existing ones for all branches of the military... The net result has been a complete failure that is NOT suitable for any branch, period.....AND again I must point out the fact that this concept of "stealth" is a fraud.... The whole premise of having any plane "invisible" is based upon making the body of the aircraft absorb radar wavelength at a certain frequency... However, modern radars, especially the ones used by the Russians use either variable wavelength technology that sweeps the skies at a multitude of frequencies and will detect ANY so called "stealth" aircraft instantly, or they use longer wave radar that goes back as early as the second World War and can easily detect "stealth" aircraft that can only absorb shorter radar wavelengths.... The facts are that the fraud of "stealth" was exposed when during the Yugoslavian war of 1999, the so called "stealth" F117A "fighter" aircraft were easily detected by the Serbians using Russian made radar and they blew many of them out of the sky... Therefore this concept of "stealth" is nothing more than a lie and a money making fraud...The bottom line is this... The incoming Drumpf administration should scrap this program immediately and go back to the drawing board to replace America's aging fighter aircraft with a modern aircraft that can actually fight..... And the money saved from this wasteful TRILLION dollar program can be used elsewhere, especially in actually fixing America's collapsing infrastructure and to give America a real fully paid health care system..... The waste of this "program" must be stopped..More to comeNTS
