F-35's Less Affordable & Reliable

The past 12 months haven't made the F-35 fighter plane any more affordable or reliable. That's according to a new look at the program by the Government Accountability Office. GAO says the Defense Department will need to spend $12.6 billion a year on the program until 2037. Right now the plane is delayed because of software development and testing. Auditors found the software needed to fly the plane and give it warfighting capabilities are unlikely before the planned deployment next year.

All in all the F35 will get there in the end. It's one step ahead of what the Chinese and the Russians are building. Which is right where we want and need to be!
