Re: Why go totally F-35?
I'd perhaps agree with you except every retired pilot or industry expert in every pro-military blog I have read (and there is lots) have said the same things about the stupidity of military purchasing and the complete loss that the F-35 program has become.
All the west is doing is pricing itself out of the ability to fight. The loss of life is too politically expensive and this perturbs ever military decision made. The F-35 was an attempt at a NATO wide upgrade scheme for an American company. It's a failure of complexity and distributed manufacturing. The rest of us should all opt out and look at more conventional/cheaper solutions and accept a couple of deaths (or stay the hell out of it).
