I know right? The concept was a form of centralization: To make a one-size-fits-all plane that could be used by army, navy and marines alike. Of course they had to have variants, and that is the problem, really. There are dramatic differences, for example, between planes taking off from a ship, or from a carefully groomed air-field. That is not to mention improving the flight-time/repair cycles.
This happened during a rapid digital transformation towards integrated computer assistance for pilots. (Note that Russians now have computer screens that appear in the actual windscreen of the plane, for example).
"that is the problem" - well that AND the fact that even variants can't do shit like replacing something as specialized and effective as the A-10, which the fucko DEI trannies running the USAF have considered not sexy enough, or something, for some time now.
I remember people moving off to Texas to go work on the F-35 project, back like 20 years ago. Can't believe it's still going, because it seemed like Congress cancelling large projects, was the norm at the time.
Is that part of the BH's plan against the US? They have messed with steel for Subs too.
Probably, good observation, see my reply about the A-10 further down, being deliberate would not shock me one bit
...Lockheed Martin et al still got paid...
The concept was flawed from the start, and the execution is awful. It's a fucking turd.
Will those hurt the enemy if you throw them? They're cheap & easy to procure. lol
LOL

Is this why we sell it to everyone lmao?
The selling it to everyone was an attempt to recuperate on the extensive losses.
