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.
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.
