Impressive!

The F-35 Could Explode In Midair If Struck By Lightning

Robert Johnson | Jan. 20, 2013, 5:13 AM

The F-35 is unable to fly within 25 miles of a thunderstorm because engineers believe it could explode if struck by lightning.

The storm restriction will not be lifted until an oxygen gauge in the fuel tank is redesigned in all F-35s.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program has experienced setbacks since 2000 when the first concept designs by Boeing, and winning contractor Lockheed Martin, were scaled back due to cost overruns and development delays. Current estimates place the cost of operating the projected U.S. fleet of F-35s at about $1 trillion over the five decades it's expected to serve the Navy, Air Force, and Marines.

Problem solved!

No worries about blowing up in a thunderstorm now, because all the F-35s have been grounded because the engine is junk.

Good grief, its a hydraulic fuel line. They'll do their analysis, find the solution and send it to change board. These things happen all the time on low hour systems.

Funny how people that don't even know how to change a spark plug get all worked up. What a weak generation of veal like people that are only good at shaving all their body hair and getting tattoos scribbled all over their bodies.

The bottom line is, if there was a war right now, neither the F-35 or the F-22 would be of any use, because the whole fleet is grounded.

And these worthless piles of shit have cost the taxpayers HOW MUCH so far?

^this. but they're being stupid on purpose. they like to think our brand new generation-5 stealth craft/new stealth ships/etc are 'weak/ineffective' because foreigners/people using US IPs to mask their real country have huge inferiority complexes when it comes to the vast superiority of the US military over every competitor, EU, SCO, subsidiary nations, etc. arguably a single US carrier battlegroup, of which we have 10, could defeat any nation in a war, without re-supply.

War with who. Good question.

Then why do we need to spend hundreds and hundreds of billions of our tax money building worthless junk we don't even need?

As for cost duncicle, per unit cost is high because congress has cut back production so the number of units is small compared to R&D, product development and manufacturing systems designed and built as well as physical infrastructure.

Look at it this way dummy. If you design a car and build a factory to make it but only make a dozen cars the price of the program per car will be pretty high, right?

You know it brother. Only reason they're grounded now is that there's nothing urgent enough to warrant even a minor risk WHICH THIS IS.
