Not only did the six F-35Bs used in the demonstration, referred to by the Marines as Operational Test 1, fail to achieve the number of required flight hours necessary to be declared combat-ready, but, in fact, the DOT&E found the trials, "did not -- and could not —demonstrate that Block 2B F-35B is operationally effective or suitable for use in any type of limited combat operation, or that it was ready for real-world operational deployments, given the way the event was structured," the report says.

Ф-35 стоил почти пол триллиона долларов, так он в придачу на испытаниях летает хреново. Тем не менее, самолет принят на вооружение. Вот, как вы думаете, сколько украли при распиле этой программы и как на этом фоне выглядит "коррумпированная Россия" с ее Сердюковым?
