Oldest F-35B Could Hit Service Life Limit In 2026
Structural defects mean the earliest F-35Bs delivered by Lockheed Martin could reach a service life limit by 2026 after 2,100 flight hours, according to the Pentagon’s director for weapons testing..

Eglin F-35 Crash Blamed on Landing Speed, but Software, Helmet, Oxygen Also Faulted | Air & Space Forces Magazine
Excessive landing speed primarily caused the May 19 crash of an F-35A at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., though faulty flight control logic, the helmet mounted display, the jet's oxygen system, and improper training and were all contributing factors, according to an Air Force investigation.

Is there something that run nicely on that jet ?
USA will NEVER purchase the total of 2400 units.
The bird is far too limited, far from FOC, FOC always pushed back...
It's not without reason that USAF will order brand new F15EX.
And why is the LCC cost of the F-35 much higher than that of the Eurocanards despite such a large production?
Obviously it will be higher, it has to keep its skin integrity. That itself will eat away a lot of money.
The F-35 makes you stupid!
But we knew that, because intelligent people would not buy such a piece of crap. Lockheed Martin developed a stupidizer to lower people's intellectual capabilities so that they accept to buy the aircraft and think it was a good deal.
The Tempest is committed to something on similar lines.

COVID Delays F-35 Full-Rate Production as Pentagon Debates 6th-Gen Capability | Air & Space Forces Magazine
The end of F-35 operational testing and declaration of full-rate production will likely come in March 2021, three months later than expected.

One again, a deadline is pushed back three months.
Questions about canceling the project are coming back, too, even if the Pentagon says it is not planned.

The biggest problem for the F-35 is it can't fly enough over the SCS and ECS on its own fuel. The Americans need a brand new 1000NM fighter for their new front.
Landing Speed Was The Main Cause Of F-35A Crash At Eglin AFB: Report - Fighter Jets World
An F-35A Lightning II Fighting flies past the Wasatch Mountains by Hill Air Force Base on Dec 7, 201

the aircraft, valued at $175,983,949, rolled, caught fire, and was completely destroyed.
Affordable they said..... Where is the less than 100$ million F35 ????
Oh my god, it's even worse than I thought! From the crash report:
Yes, the aircraft that has been much hyped as being a flying superdupercomputer able to process eleventy gadzillions of teraflops per femtosecond, got saturated by stick input and became unresponsive. I want everyone to fully understand what this means: the flight control system is not capable of reacting in real-time, it can be saturated and when that happens becomes unresponsive. During the most critical times in an F-35's operation, when for a reason or another stick input change rapidly, the aircraft just stops responding.
It's incredible. It's really incredible how shoddy this thing is. It's astounding.
MP attempted to reestablish a landing attitude after touch down. The aircraft landing lasted approximately five seconds before the MP elected to eject. Upon touch down the MP initially attempted to dampen the rapid rise of the nose produced by the first bounce. The MP’s initial reaction was consistent with attempting to recover from a bounce and set a landing attitude.However, the MP’s stick inputs quickly fell out of synch with the aircraft pitch oscillations and control cycles initiated by the weight on wheels. This resulted in multiple conflicting flight control inputs. In the presence of large and aggressive stick inputs the flight control system, based on its Control Law (CLAW) logic, became saturated and unresponsive, and ultimately biased the flight control surfaces toward nose down.

On landing? Sounds like the guy can't fly for shit. Even the average DCS player knows not to do that. Basically the guy crash landed and you're blaming the plane for not being uncrashable? Do you know of any driver-based car that's uncrashable? And yet you expect a plane to be.
Sorry but there's no such thing as an _Anonymous_ proof plane.
You're not really bringing up anything, just babbling as per usual.
