     >Trillions
     
     There, fixed it for you. At $128M per fighter they should be immortal

     Oh sorry, yeah forgot Billions is nothing. Well jets can be expensive the problem is that if any other nation tried to do F-35 they would get broke.
     
     
     Like compare that to the Gripen true a 80ths Aircraft but that got made with the price of 10 brand news F-35... like from no jet to having something usefull

     The Homer car was hilariously over designed and expensive, but at least worked

     Its funny tho how the only modern Jet to have problem with weather is the one to cost Billions to develop

     wait, so the homer car of fighter jets is not made for the current weather… how could lockheed-martin drop the ball so bad when Djamarcus D’ghetto worked so hard designing the intake…

     Still laugh at this, it comes from a video:
     "So here we can see a F-18 firing the latest AIM-9X and it missing the SU-22 because of its Flares, even tho its supposed to ignore them..."
     Okay so western weapons can fail
     "... now to why F-35 did not failed and cannot never failed..."
     *Starts doing all copes about it related to F-16 incident*

     The question is if the Trillions spent on the F35 were worth it.
     
     For the cost of the whole program the US could have gotten something like 80,000 F18's. A fighter that has shown to hold its own 1 on 1 vs the F35.
     
     In a war quantity is a quality of its own. Which is something the US are learning in Ukraine

     But F-35 won vs that f-16 I mean it lost but it was mechanically handcapped by software while being a airframe made to test the limits of the plane bro, like the plane can do super manouver and get behind anything...
     
     Meanwhile in Russia
     "Wow our Lancet missed the Ukranian and did no damage"
     "Well post the video"

     Until they see their shit has no qualitative afvantage of Russian shit, or at least no pratical one (yeah technically your tank has a better reverse speed, it doesnt help with an ATGM in open ground), they won't learn a thing... and that comes from the nation that fought Tigers with Shermans and the odd 90mm carriage TD

     The fact the Sherman came from America is almost hilarious now. A tank designed to fit in a fucking box on a ship, designed to be easily rail transportable and which can be made with several types of engine and in numbers that make shipping it across the world not even an issue. Complete opposite of the modern American mindset, only thing it really has in common with the Abrams is crew survivability but even that is wasted if you haven't got a ton of extra tanks to immediately stick the surviving crew into

     Well they're being taught that lesson but they aren't paying attention.
