Ok except the U.S. military industrial complex is the largest of all of human existence. Furthermore that entire article is based off of “who can shoot the most artillery” which is fundamentally flawed from the start.
U.S. military industrial complex is designed to create revenue for the people running it, not to produce efficient and functional weapons. A lot of the military equipment it produces, like the infamous F35, is fragile and requires huge amounts of maintenance. U.S. has never fought a peer competitor since WW2, and it’s military is organized for bombing the shit out of small defenceless countries.
What we’ve seen so far in Ukraine is that U.S. weapons such as javelins, drones, M777s, and so on have proven to be incredibly lackluster. U.S. also managed to deplete its stockpiles and is projected to take years to replenish them.
Basing the article on artillery battles is not flawed at all given that’s what the nature of the war in Europe would look like.
Unlike many legacy planes, the F-35 is built with access panels to allow technicians to more easily make adjustments. This makes changing out parts “a whole lot faster,” said Tech. Sgt. Chard Wooldridge, an avionics technician.
“For example, instead of taking off the entire nose assembly, it’s just a compartment,” Wooldridge said.
Plus, the computer catches problems the human eye might miss, Wooldridge said.
The jet’s weapons are also easier to maintain than those on legacy platforms, said Master Sgt. Jason Buffell, the weapons section lead. The F-35’s weapons delivery is “pneumatic,” which means it fires projectiles by means of air pressure, instead of explosive. This saves man hours because the team doesn’t have to spend time cleaning the weapons banks every day, Buffell said.
LMAO, F-35 needs special hangars with controlled climate so its stealth paint doesn’t peel. It needs to be repainted every few sorties. It has a VTOL engine behind the pilot that obscures the view making the pilot rely on camers. Cameras can glitch, and thanks to networking glitch on one F-35 can blind pilots in the rest of the squad. VTOL takes so much fuel that it needs midair refuelling right after it takes off. The whole thing is an incredibly expensive mess that will never work in real combat against a peer competitor. Love how you just guzzle propaganda from the arms industry there.
The numbers provided are indisputable.

Once again flawed from the start.
