The Pentagon ’s sword - spankin - new fleet of F-35 jet did not derive cheap — be an approximate $ 1 trillion to build and operate . So why are they sitting on macadam instead of police the skies , blowing shit up to defend my freedoms ?
“ The power organisation that starts and cools the aircraft fail during an engine ground exam , ” reports The Fort Worth Star - Telegram . Besides starting the main locomotive , the failed organisation offer A / C to the pilot and generates back - up power . This is n’t the first ( or 2d ) time the F-35 has been grounded within the last year . A software package glitch remit the planes last October while an electrical issue put them out of service again this March .
The Joint F-35 Operations office that oversees has announced that the fleet will bide grounded until applied scientist get a handgrip on what ’s get the problem . It “ is the prudent military action to take at this time until the F-35 engineering , technical and scheme guard team to the full understand the crusade of the incident , ” the business office said in a command . And , with $ 500 billion in potentital budget cuts looming for the Pentagon , the circumstances of the rest of the fleet , still wait to be built , is sudddenly much less impregnable .
