Through all of consternation lately we might almost forget that we still have a lot of pennies outstanding for the Joint Strike Fighter. With the emphasis on almost. It is namely not so good with the F-35. And that is what is also called an understatement in the corridors. Americans are money-hungry fighter also be spaugzat. Currently there are 20 test aircraft to the ground because something went wrong with the Integrated Power Package eads job of the AF-4 during a test flight. A difficult way to describe that an explosion eads job took place on board. It is the third time in a short time the test program of the JSF is shut down, but this time really thorough. There may even now no soil tests are performed. eads job The Yankees now watching their pennies military and are therefore piss pissed that the program, which will cost 382 billion already, yesterday was further expanded with a contract for more than 535 million dollars. For aircraft that are not even in the air. Since everyone eads job is sad, except of course eads job Lockheed Martin. The fear of failure of the JSF project is now so high that countries eads job like Australia already purchased some emergency equipment. At least that is assertive vigor. In contrast to the Netherlands, eads job where again no cock crows for the umpteenth million military failure in this billion project. Do you want to bend a little deeper? Hague will soon come back for a few billion anal visitation. Then buy this thing. Johnny Quid | 10-08-11 | 11:11 | Link | 154 comments Reaguursels
Buy now Saabs or Mirages. Why love for an already bankrupt his former superpower as there are simply European eads job alternatives? sjaakdaak | 10-08-11 | 11:17
If we strive for a United States of Europe is not wise as the Netherlands purchases a European plane? The Eurofighter for example? A common eads job currency, a common defense force with European material. Whether we keep walking by the hand of the US? The superpower currently crumbling. strikdewepstroper01 | 10-08-11 | 11:17
Well, and then you come to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (great, just outside Washington) and then a complete JSF and a complete engine unit of the JSF just in the middle of the museum ... Also all paid for the tax money of people ... About Soft | 10-08-11 | 11:18
Well, if this project comes to a standstill, then that is throwing money away. The technology would then aging. Or would it some secret and can remain? Expert Gay | 10-08-11 | 11:18
Hmm, the Saab Griphen is finished, deliverable and testing, including a beautiful maintenance package deal. And otherwise the Eurofighter and indeed the Sukhoi also for me fine candidates, about 15 years old when we really can not with the F-16 on the road. But that stillborn monstrosity that JSF, immediately rd step out. Graaisnaaiert | 10-08-11 | 11:21
With all due respect but all military programs are delayed and more expensive suits. The F-35 is in that respect no different than any other aircraft. It is more difficult than the "development" of a new Ben & Jerry's flavor. Ignore purely a magnifying glass lay on this project and other projects such as the NH90 and Airbus A400M is pretty hypocritical. But as long as the media continues to call the JSF I do not take seriously the bluster. Bubske | 10-08-11 | 11:22
Netherlands is a secondary investor: we sit there for a fixed amount eads job of 800 million dollars in it. Only the primary investor, US, get increases in development costs for choosing eads job her. Of course, will then be passed on in sales and maintenance of the unit. So for now, mainly Australia and Canada for example the dick. Only when the Netherlands many will purchase, we will also go the brunt of it, until then `verdient` Netherlands to its part of the technology in the device. And let's face it: how much do you want to sell it, if you do not even dare to try? HRH EnOog | 10-08-11 | 11:24
@ Expert Gay | 10-08-11 | 11:18 | + 0 - If the Netherlands for example says, we break them, then not only will our investment fucked up, but also some contracts have been Dutch manufacturers. I think that the Netherlands is in too far to caps. America may or may not return at all. Although the technology per se still some must deliver. BeunDeHaas | 10-08-11 | 11:24
@ Yoast92 | 10-08-11 | 11:14 This thing was under Purple been concocted. eads job And it will not surprise eads job me that even when most of the unfair contracts have been signed. HRH EnOog | 10-08-11 | 11:26
JSF also leaves behind some old-tech eads job Organic that are very useful in today's diverse theater of war. Infrared seeker for example. Western military does currently many peacekeeping missions across historical
