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

[BoQ77]

65M $ apiece??? That's a wish upon a far distant star indeed, man!

GL with that, Tay.

80 mln in 2019 should come true.
Which is the best candidate for a 80 mln price?
and article said there'll be 10% more down

US is well comed to be a partner in low cost highly efficient 5th gen Stealth fighter AMCA. We together can make wonders.

#1

Planned cost in 2019 is 48 units for 5,383.789 M$ gross and 5,119.276 net.
Volume 1-3 page 3 of link in above post.

You do the math as you like but I'd say it's unlikely, Tay.

The Coming Dogfight Between the F-35 and the New Bomber

 

[Taygibay]

^^^ LOL No weight categories there, Huh? that's like a Cairn terrier against a Bernese Mountain dog!

Oh! well, they do say that it ain't the size of the dog itself that matters but that of the fight within it ...
so it may still apply?

Fun to read you as always Mil-Avia, have a great day, Tay.

P.S. Amusing factoid, LRIP has now reached 187 jets ... the same as total Raptors ever produced?
And it's still churning these fat pigs out? See you at 499 units!

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

See you at 499 units!

You'll have to beat my post at 499. That's when I take over this thread and continuously update the counts over 500 using the biggest font possible.

The High-Cost of High-Price Aircraft

OH! look ^^^ Is it a title? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a tautology!

But it ain't no link though; just sayin' Tay.

You are developing your CRAPY little LAST CHANCE AIRCRAFT since 1983, yet it is not inducted by IAF, its takes 33 years to developed and your wet dreams AMCA will come in 2070 and why US need your CRAPY aviation industry which can't develop a decent jet engine and why you think that you're top on this field, the US is top in the world in this fields and why US need your help to develop 5th generation fighter, oh I forget you have 10000 generation fighter named as LAST CHANCE AIRCRAFT

 

[mil-avia]

What are these so-called minor technical issues with this extremely cool-looking F-35 jet?

I can understand the pain you under go particularly after Baherin air show. LCA MK1+ is coming with 800 kg weight slashed, EW and AESA to sprey salt on your burning wounds. It shall be followed by Mk2 and AMCS. More pain and heart burn for you.

Well just in case anyone missed the fine print we want 18 more F16 C/D thank you ^_^

The vertical landing is not that big in our list as we have lot of flat roads to land the F16 C/D

Just read that a Norwegian F-16 pilot loves the F-35 and thinks its better than the F-16.
