aviation mechanics furiously yelling at the crew not to stick a giant q-tip in the exhaust
Even the most well trained operators will make mistakes. Good engineering ensures that one mistake doesn't cost 130 million dollars.
Imagine if you short shifted your car once the brakes disable and the engine dumps all the oil on the ground and you are about halfway to how dog shit the f35 is
i once drove my car 15 minutes down the highway with the parking brake engaged, it felt off but i didnt notice why until i was about to take my exit.
did you have covid at the time? you should’ve smelt the brake burning
Eventually the thing gets so sophisticated you need to return to basic principles and ask yourself, "Why?"
Who would win? One F-35 or a surface-to-air missile launched from a silo built decades ago that has been well-maintained since then?
Either a comrade, or a team composed entirely of failsons who got into their engineering programs on legacy status.
"US Navy wants to get crashed stealth fighter back -- before China can"..... get their hands on it and laugh
If yanquis doesn't want China to see their stuff they should stay at home instead of fucking around crashing into stuff right next to China.
There's probably an easier way to keep it from spontaneously combusting
Wait, just to clarify, this is the SECOND F35 that's ended up in the South China Sea this month right?
