The F35 is not a money pit. Its an organized fleecing of the American tax payer. $1.5 trillion and it can't out dogfight an F16. This is clearly not about Lockheed's ability to produce. It's about Lockheed fucking YOU in the ass.
Lockheed hired 200 software devs to work on the pilot's helmet software alone. Really?? 200??
Kill yourself Lockheed. With bloat like this it wont be difficult to overthrow the American government
if i remember correctly, this is a rafale getting some simulated kills on F-35 during a simulated dog fight

I worked on JSF as a software engineer. We had to redo the helmet because BAE fuçked it up royally.
Also you don't know shit. How many 12m8l LOC pr9jects do you manage?
>>73936896
If you don't want projects like the F-35, don't vote Republican, since all they want to do is throw more money into shit like this.

Dude, it's a stealth missile platform.

Nigga that helmet can work miracles. It basically makes the pilot superman, with x-ray vision and super-senses.
>tfw our carriers are getting the F-35
this after we spent a fuck ton to upgrade our entire Naval Harrier fleet. What the fuck was the Ministry of Defence thinking.
>>73937740
>>73937737
true, dogfighiting is a thing of the past, I just thought it was interesting
>also that adm-160
>>73937838
Are those carriers even finished yet? There is still a long time to go before it is actually time to put aircraft on them. By then, the F-35 will be the gold standard that all other planes are measured against.

C++: NOT EVEN ONCE.

What language would you prefer? Does it have decent RTOS support, RM scheduling?

HMS Queen Elizabeth II is due to enter full service in 2018. Thing is you meant have a point if it was the STOL F-35 but we scrapped that because the catapults cost too much so are reverting to the gimped VTOL F-35. The original reason for scrapping our Naval Harriers is they weren't STOL compatible, so scrapping them was fucking pointless
most ridiculous plane in existence... should have gone straight to drones.
>>73938172
You know we started this shit in 1996. It takes some time.
What do you suppose we're working on now?
>>73938154
I admit, that does seem pretty retarded.
>>73937748
>Let's put more money into the military when they don't need it because everything is about size!
>Who cares if projects like the F-35 are just made to be a waste of taxpayer money's where a fucking Euro fighter and decades old fighter plan shits all over it? Give them another trillion to fix it.
If I'm a shill, I'm upset I'm not getting hotpockets like the janitors here for compensation.
>>73938172
>Implying they won't just convert the F-35 into a drone
>>73938149
Anything along the lines of the languages invented by Wirth, Hoare, Sussman & Abelson, or Kay. Just something conducive to straightforward, maintainable, legible code. Something with plenty of static checks, too. Obviously with the Wirth & Hoare family Ada would be an obvious option.

Russia recently revealed its newest tank after just 5 years in development.
>What do you suppose we're working on now?
The F-35, for ever.

Want to fight the Turkroach? Want to help Kurds establish a state and to destabilise Turkey? Donate to the Kurdish Red Crescent. They help Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. They are also accused by Turkey of helping the PKK, which is even more reason to donate if you want to fight the Turkroach. So let's help destabilise Turkey and Putin will one day restore Constantinople to its former glory.,

That means we are taking NATO for a Mr. MICs wild ride. It's quite glorious selling The Flying Homer to the world.
As a professional image boarder, I can assure you that the F-35 is garbage. I've seen GIFs and WEBMs showing how terrible this plane is. My opinion is valid. Dumb F-35 shills, have you seen this GIF in particular? Look at how dumb you look, jew shill.
I love Puitn.
>>73936896
Reminder that it is cheaper than maintaining our current fleet till 2065 and $1.5 trillion is an estimate on how much it will cost over its entire life span
>>73938818
This is literally what comes in my mind when I think about what would happen if you fusion a american and a jew.
I'm 47. We have $1.8 million in our retirement assets, far below what had expected by this point. We'd hope to let it ride another 15 years, but the way the world is fucked up we're cashing out this year and buying a big place with cash in the middle of nowhere. We should be OK with a huge fence, our gardens, stockpiles, and lots of ammo.
Good luck to you kids making a life in this new world. I am sorry what your parents did to you. Learn from this.

IT WAS SOLD AS A DOGFIGHTER, A STEALTH MISSILE PLATFORM ETC DIPSHIT. THE F16 IS 30 YEATS OLD!!!
>>73939712
Caps lock?
>>73936896
it also flies sometimes
>>73939712
The ballpoint pen is 128 years old, so what?
>>73939712
The F-35 can dogfight just fine. It has the maneuverability of the F-18 combined with the acceleration of the F-16, with range favorably comparable against the F-14 and the stealth of the F-22. It is one hell of a plane, I'll tell you that much.
>>73937737
that's what the f-100 and f-105 pilots thought. They didn't fly so good.
>>73940088
The F-105 was a bomber. You wouldn't really expect it to do well against fighters.
