I would love to say I am shocked by our government but I am not. Our allies are using the F35 and it only makes sense for us to use it too.
Using Bombardier as an excuse not to buy the F35 is stupid. Bombardier should have been shut down years ago. Constantly being bailed out by tax payers. Total money pit!
I fully believe we will end up buying F35s eventually which is even more troubling. After billions have been spent on panels, used planes, they will eventually get it right at twice the price.
I feel for our servicemen and women. What we are supplying them is tech that is older than they are. I don't drive a 40 year old car, I don't have a 40 year old computer. Its not acceptable.
It shouldn't be acceptable for our military either.
The Aussies must be laughing so much.
