I love watching midwits with no experience in military precurement opine about weapon systems. You're doing a great job regurgitating things you've read third hand. Keep up the great work, guys.

I spent five years in defense aerospace. I know there's lots of mostly very bright and mostly decent people, working in a deeply flawed system that produces both game-changing innovation and expensive boondoggles.

Thing is, I can't say with any confidence whether the very programs I worked on fell into one category or the other. I can't even begin to judge a program from the outside.

I know for sure the F22 is the best lookimb plane since the F16 And the F35 is in Uncanny Ugly Valley--definitely ugly, but not endearingly ugly like the A10 Warthog. It's an ungainly design-by-committee, your 3rd choice to invite to prom. This is my strong opinion.

Some folks I know - active duty Air Force - have strong opinions on why the F-35 was overpriced and underperforming. Some have aviation knowledge/work in that area, and some are just randos in the Air Force. None have an overall positive opinion of it.
