Someone once mentioned a long time ago, that this airplane is garbage for one reason only. Price. Let's say it performed flawlessly, succeeded in all it's goals, it would still be garbage. Because the point being that you counter that with a few cheap drones that all suck individually, but dollar for dollar you can get the hundred drones required to take these aircraft down, while the owners of the F-35 will simply not be able to keep up money wise.
$200 MM is a VERY hefty price. Hell 5 of these guys will cover our education needs across the whole damn united states.
