    The US Army highly logistics driven and its probably true for other individual branches (maybe not the air force). Its the MIC that keeps making wunderwaffen because thats the most profitable. All of those faults you listed are profit for the MIC. Extra ground maintenance is a private contractor making $300K to only fix one system on one plane.

    The F-35 was designed to save money by replacing +3 different fighter jets with 1 platform. The result is 3 different jets that share a shape and frame but literally nothing else.
