I read reports like this on the regular about the F-35 and I can't help but come up with a cynical take about it. It's so transparently a financial scam (siphon money from allies to U.S. defense contractors) that it must be intentional.

like, military planners must have some alternative ideas about what future air wars will actually consist of and they aren't saying. they can't honestly expect to be flying the F-35 in real combat situations. they know it will lose badly.

I'm not quite sure: if anything, the F-35 is the repository for all the dumb speculative future-war tech demo ideas. I also would like to believe there are people in charge with some level of big-picture understanding, but there are plenty of similar fuckups throughout history.

What if this is all a huge psyop, a misinformation campaign, what if the f-35 is so fucking amazing that they have to push counter narratives to keep us from shitting our pants.

The f35 is finally deployed and it transforms into a gundam, complete with beam saber, it slices other jets in half, it launches nukes from the moon, it is submersible too.
