The F-35B and F-35C will follow after, Seal says, although she declined to comment on how many aircraft require the fix. In 2020, the Joint Program Office restricted the F-35 from flying within 25 nautical miles of thunderstorms or lightning. That restriction is expected to remain in place until all of the affected aircraft can receive the fuel system fix, which will hopefully be before the end of 2025. Seal says a software update coming this year will alert pilots whenever dips in the OBIGG system’s performance are detected.
doesn't the F35 like explode if it gets rained on or something?
Defective anti-lightning equipment means F35s can't fly in conditions with risk of lightning.

It's a BVR only fighter for wars in which every engagement requires visual confirmation that the target isn't civilian.
