The F-35 fighter program, already set to bleed taxpayers for over $2 trillion, has cemented its place as one of the costliest military projects in US history.
A fifth-generation fighter, the F-35 is comparable to the Su-57 – however, Russia’s jet outclasses it in maneuverability and firepower—all without the $2 trillion price tag.
With years of crippling delays, software failures, maintenance nightmares, & reliability issues, watchdogs like the GAO have long warned about the F-35’s dubious effectiveness – yet the Pentagon keeps pouring in cash.
