50% of all F-35s are grounded

50% of all F-35s are GROUNDED!

F-35 performance so far has been checkered at best despite more than a trillion USD being spent on the program.

Is it due to the overly ambitious nature of the aircraft, corruption, incompetence or all of the above?

Probably not accurate as the USAF and other operators of the F-35 only disclose grounding of their aircraft when absolutely necessary. Nothing in the news about that, unless I missed it. Despite the 'checkered' performance there is no shortage of countries placing orders as the tech is still light years ahead of anything the chinese or russians can put in the air.

 

Oh, and please check out this guys other video where he rightly proclaims that all of chinese military aircraft are useless rubbish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w48Xew0VYHY&ab_channel=Millennium7%2aHistoryTech

"he rightly proclaims that all of chinese military aircraft are useless rubbish"

 

no he doesn't, he refutes this simplistic narrative by describing what they've been doing this century

 

He generally says how fast they're catching up with all the resources being dumped into it (a fraction of what the west spends btw....didn't you say they're corrupt too?)

 

The thing he's most critical about is pilot training but but he says this is something they're addressing already & the lack of combat experience is something we should be happy about. This is outside the scope of "all of chinese military aircraft" though so no social credit points for you there.

 

feel free to back up you words (you can't) with some direct quotes or timecodes where he "rightly proclaims that all of chinese military aircraft are useless rubbish"

 

here's a direct quote (3:05) as the conclusion to the section "Are Chinese Aircraft Really Useless Rubbish?":
"Russian and Chinese technology has been undervalued for a long time but in the 21st century this approach is no longer justified"

 

Debunked by your own link - caught being deceitful in your attempted whataboutism...

Are you even trying?

He literally calls them useless rubbish at the 1 min mark. He then tries to soften it by saying that they , along with russian air platforms are undervalued. If anything the invasion of Ukraine has shown the world is that russian aircraft (along with all of their other military equipment) is absolute shite.

 

We all saw how your total temper tantrum and meltdown when you were embarassingly called out (by me) after falsely claiming that your favourite dating coach had been assassinated.  Still butt hurt by that it seems and obsessed with getting back at me. Get a life.

No he doesn't.

The section is called "Are Chinese Aircraft Really Useless Rubbish?"

The title on the screen is "USELESS RUBBISH"

 

The guy is addressing this common allegation by cope-addicts like yourelf & he refutes it.

 

 

 

"He then tries to soften it by saying that they , along with russian air platforms are undervalued"

 

Nope. The quote (as I've already written out) is:

"Russian and Chinese technology has been undervalued for a long time but in the 21st century this approach is no longer justified"

 

 

Why are you lying so blatantly.

Equipment is only as good as your pilot.

 

Russians, U.S. and Israeli are the best in the world to my knowledge.

 

Ukrainians have nowhere to train.

That's like saying you need to be a biologist to provide a definition for what a woman is.
