UK to purchase F-35As and join NATO nuclear mission as Government steps up national security and delivers defence dividend

WTF!?
Good to know Lockheed Martin has the same strangle hold on the UK as the US. You guys might want to fix that before Nigel or Boris make themselves king or supreme chancellor.
Considering how well the F35 did against Iran, I expect more F35 purchases from Europe going forward. I’m not aware of any European jets with comparable stealth and radar capabilities.
F35 are too expensive and if you buy american you dont support domestic weapon manufacturers
There's no equivalent jet in general. And for good reason - the requirements were insane and the development process was both massively slow and unfathomably expensive.
In the long run, you have to wonder if sensors will move to any number of alternatives to radar reflections, but word is that stealth is still pretty (war)game-breaking ATM.
It's just that the US has privileged access to all the software...
Didn't Israel lose one? And this further sinks you into a position of reliance on empire America. Like who are you going to fight with these? Iran?
OK I thought just the photos were AI. Looks like they've yet to loose one.
