The "f" in f-35 stands for Ford. The Ford 35 will conquer the World.

Fake news. The F-32 was a lame duck, it never worked, it never even came close to working.
That's not what the documentary shows. It's main shortfall was the vertical landing performance, which needed further refinement. It did work however, and it's vertical system had advantages over the F-35s. They lost the race, it's not clear they would have lost with more development time, but they lost.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

Almost every day in the F-15 communities I belong to we are discussing the corruption with this program and how fucking awful this thing performs. It's really shocking how bad this thing is. Some analysts are actually calling for total cancellation.

Fake news. Fake reform media hatchet job, the fake reform media loves to make a scandal out of nothing, but they are full of shit.

Not to mention it's moot. X-32 is long dead, and it was a junk anyways.

This is when the Serbians shot down an F-117:
Unknown to NATO, Yugoslav air defense operators had found they could detect F-117s with their "obsolete" Soviet radars after some modifications.[4] In 2005, Colonel Zoltán Dani confirmed this in an interview, suggesting that those modifications involved using long wavelengths, which allowed them to detect the aircraft.[5] In addition, the Yugoslavs had also intercepted and deciphered some NATO communications, and thus were able to deploy their anti-air batteries at positions best suited to intercept NATO warplanes.[5]
The F-35 uses the same materials as the F-117. The only advantage it has over the F-117 is slightly better geometry and speed. It can be targeted. Not even the stealth really works.

Why didn't they use the fucking materials they used on an F-22?? They made the F-22 too.
