More than a trillion dollars will be needed to maintain the F-35 fleet for the entire period of its operation.

The cost of maintaining the fleet of the latest American fighter F-35 Lightning over the period of operation will amount to $ 1,12 trillion. MIC Post by Bloomberg.

“The Air Force, Navy and US Marine Corps expect these aircraft to be the most expensive weapon system in the world. stories “They will be in service at least until the 2070 of the year,” the agency notes, citing the curator of the aircraft creation program, General Chris Bogdan.

At the same time, the publication points to the fact that “F-35 fighters still have cracks when conducting ground strength tests and problems remain with the onboard systems software.”

According to the agency, "compared with last year's estimate, these costs increased by 107 billion dollars."

Bloomberg, recalls that the Pentagon plans to purchase an 2443 fighter for the armed forces.

Does anyone else have illusions about the "price-quality" criterion, even without taking into account the even lower combat indicators?

Firstly, it’s worth considering that

F-35 fighters will fly until 2070, that is, the US armed forces decided to extend their operation for six years, defensenews.com reports (March 24).
Previously it was planned to keep armed with aircraft of this type until 2064. It is reported that the total raid of fighters of all three options in the Air Force, Navy and ILC will be approximately 1,6 million hours.

, and taking into account the fact that the concept of exploitation includes everything from the smallest detail to the cost of a flight hour, then nothing beyond sight can be seen.
Secondly, again we are talking about an unknown source without mentioning any official documents, whereas

The latest Pentagon report shows that the cost of operating the entire fleet of aircraft before the aforementioned period will be reduced from 391 to 379 billion dollars, not counting inflation. The acquisition cost of one F-35A decreased by $ 1,8 million, F-35B and F-35C by $ 1 million]

He will simply see the Su-35 at a distance of 185 km, while the Su can see the F-35 on radar only 60 km away. T / e chance for BVB is extremely low. Then today the BVB starts at a distance of 30 km. And there are used all-aspect missiles like the Israeli "PITON-4/5". Well, underestimating the F-35 as a maneuverable fighter after the performance of the Norwegian test pilot is no longer comme il faut, especially since

Restrictions on maneuverability (no more than 3G on full tanks, no more than 7G with 55% refueling) associated with flaws in the F-35 valves and fuel lines are resolved.
On March 19, Lockheed already has 3 aircraft undergoing alterations, the plan is to carry out all tests by August 1 and issue 12 reconditioned aircraft (that is, at the time of the announcement of IOC F-35A).
The team finished retrofitting the first jet with the fuel system modification a few weeks ago - nine days early, Harrigian said. Two more jets are getting the modification and are expected to come out of the shop March 19. The plan is to have 12 fully retrofitted jets ready for the squadron by Aug. 1, he said.
“We don't see any problem with modifying the airplanes to support IOC,” Babione said

Aron Zaavi, good evening! And if there are Khibiny, President-S, or some other electronic warfare on the plane? But there are also ground-based radars that can aim at the enemy. So it turns out that you can't write off BVB. And you must admit that its (F-35) universalization (according to the concept, it should be Istr.-Bombar., Shturmavik, Deck) is not good. Hope for electronics; which can be chopped off or affected by the missile, in the fight against the enemy, with modern electronic warfare; I would not. And write off agility with speed.
And I’m also afraid that with his computer bells and whistles, the Russians will not succeed in Syria (landing - retrofitted - and again to the sky). With this constant reprogramming after every flight. I don’t know whether they are breeding or not. And one engine, even the most modern one, does not inspire confidence.
