The F35 will be cancelled before 500 planes are made (prediction by Pierre Sprey)

[Taygibay]

LOL at above, pretty honest assessment if a tad exaggerated; kudos!

Just remember They haven't even stopped paying into the program.

That means nothing, my man! It's insurance more than anything. They would not stop a given program
until its replacement was activated. Then if the F-35 is included in the new competition as has been hinted
to recently in Ottawa, you need not stop the payments until a choice is cleared, preserving your spot.

It's merely the two bones chasing dog sensical/logical thing in application over procurement.
I do admit it is a rare and welcome idea from just about any government though, making sense I mean ...

Great day all, Tay.

The F-35 is an extremely expensive aeroplane and it is not suitable for use by the Danish military for its Arctic operations. What’s more, the investment is so great that it hardly would leave any funds for pressing upgrades of basic equipment and capacity

While it might be true that the F-35 can provide satisfactory air support to ground troops, it is also true that the A-10, Super Tucano, or the Scorpion and the smaller, cheaper weapons deployed from them can do the mission at a fraction of the total cost.
