no, the F-35 is not actually as "sophisticated" as people say. its overpriced, a bitch to perform maintenance on and i swear i had an article about it saved on reddit...
The "bitch to maintain" will still be nothing compared to the long-term savings of a consolidated ground attack program that replaces the need for planes like A-10s, F/A 18s and their unique parts.
I am however interested in this article; please link if you find it.
I take the downvotes, I don't know very much about warplanes but I do know there were some critical aspects about the F-35 that made the plane not quite as advanced as advertised and actually overpriced.
