Every argument that the JSF Team has put forward, and which so many nations have bought into, as to why the F-35 is the ONLY correcy choise is utter nonsense, and history has proven it out - Affordable?...Yeah right. Interoperable?... What American aircraft ISN'T interoperable? Relevant to today's wars?... Gimme a break; the F-22 was thrown under the bus for being irrelevant because it hasn't fought against our current enemies who, by the way, are either already being subjected to B-52/B1-1/A-10/F-15/F-16 JDAM attacks while they're cowering in caves (Afhanistan), or who can't stage a legitimate defense against even a small-scale air assault (Liby), let-alone an assault by the likes of an F-22 and B-2 strike package. How is the F-35 gunna have ANY relevance when it's asked to go plinking tanks or infantry and you can't use it because noone wants to risk their $150Mil aircraft? - Especially given the fact that WHEN we face a real IADS, the only thing capable of getting in there so the F-35 CAN be relevant is its "irrelevant" sibling, which thanks to the JSF crew, is gunna be over-tasked protecting THEIR "ass"ets. Pathetic.
