The F-35, at 50 million per airframe has now been flying for 15 years, and is one of the most controversial planes in existence. Critics constantly cite it's spiraling costs. And yet, in 15 years of flying the F-35 has lost 4 airframes, and killed one pilot, making it one of the safest planes flying today.

But if so why is the plane so controversial? In this video we briefly examine the Woozle effect, the effect by which the media, and those that cite the media, simply quote each other as a source without ever truly fact checking if what they publish is genuine or not, and have, for years, been unintentionally broadcasting Russian propaganda as factual claims about Americas new fighter jet.

    I mean considering we've been fighting people with no anti air capacity, I'd say losing four planes and killing a pilot is pretty bad.

      these sorts of dronie defence studies channels love to shit on the ww2 heer for using overengineered unreliable pieces of shit (which is true) and then turn a blind eye when the us army does the exact same stuff, like with the wunderwaffe f-35 having a morbillion reliability issues or the bradley ifv being an overweight turd that tries to do everything.

    But if so why is Xinjiang so controversial? In this video we briefly examine the Woozle effect, the effect by which the media, and those that cite the media, simply quote each other as a source without ever truly fact checking if what they publish is genuine or not, and have, for years, been unintentionally broadcasting American propaganda as factual claims about China's anti-terrorism program.

      Had to do a double take when i saw that paragraph. Wild how they will sometimes come up with a new word for "imperialists jerking themselves off" though I will say that using their own name for terms makes it slightly easier to argue with freaks on Reddit if I ever wanna go back to that life.

    wish people like this would be honest about wanting to fuck the plane. like, they've edited the heart eyes onto the jet and everything. just be normal and make aeromorph porn like the rest of us instead of spouting deranged nonsense for 40 minutes

      It's one of my personal theories that objectophilia is like waaaaaaaaaaay more common than you'd think based on it only ever being presented in some odd news story about a guy who goes full in on it and it drives a surprisingly large part of politics.

      And if we only managed to remove the kink shaming maybe these people'd be content to build an F35 Model to masturbate with instead of doing this shit

    I'm getting to see a couple of F-35s fly this week at an airshow. Excited to finally see one of these pieces of shit in real life.

      Be careful and try to stay out of the area immediately under their flight path if you can

    Listen sweaty, it may be ridiculously expensive to purchase and maintain, and the maintainance issues may make it so that theyre not flying as often as is reasonable for a fighter, but theyre a vital part of the hi/low doctrine as the low cost fighter to be supported by the f22!

    /uj, the plane is good when it is in the air, but who is the US' biggest enemy? China? Whats a short range fighter that costs a bazillion dollars to maintain going to do against a country that is primarily interested in developing its interests through economic means?
