New F-35 fighters developing cracks
A variant of the F-35 fighter designed by Lockheed-Martin is developing cracks. Sounds like their management took classes from Boeing. Just make a little change to the plane so it has more capabilities, and no one will notice the difference. Don't need to go through all that pesky testing again. Our tax dollars at work.

Snarky summary.
Chips in the paint, developing cracks. Six of one, half dozen of another. Sounds like you took classes from MH370.
Thanks for the update, Shuram Biased.

Progress doesn't mean compliance/success, and yes, as we're getting older, we all knew aiming is not our strength :-), so there you go, following is an exerpt of that one page news I think is the topic should be about: "cracks...near the 25mm gun muzzle OF THE F-35A VARIANT...the accuracy of the gun...made progress with changes to the gun installation, boresight processes, and hardware..."
yeah...it's taken them 15 years to test the gun... what the hell's going on with that??
I can't remember who said it, but 'If we spend more on weapons, we don't get better weapons, we get more expensive weapons'.
The current occupant of the White House showered the DOD with more money, and the Military Industrial Complex was joyous. They get more money, and that money can go to politicians that back their industry.
Oh, in case you are thinking this is 'racketeering', the Congress exempted themselves from the RICO Act. They can racketeer until the cows come home, and nothing happens...

Trump 2020!
it's taken what? 15 years to get this thing into service? the Russians and Chinese know everything about it by now... and it still hasn't been able to meet requirements... Lockheed and the Air Force tried to get too much into this bird that started out as a "low cost-stealthy-replacement for F16"
