The F-35 Can't Dogfight

#3

Quote:Hasn't the JSF program been little more than an utter debacle for a decade now? I mean, Lockheed doesn't care. They just say, "Oops, found another problem. It'll cost an extra $100M to fix," and Uncle Sam hands them a check.

 

Such is life when you try to try to fill three completely different missions with one aircraft that isn't optimized for any of them.
I don't claim to be an expert in any field necessary to understand this but, I do wonder how hard it has to be to develop a jet that can maneuver, fire rockets, fire bombs and land on a carrier.... Those are the requirements right? Or is there another function I am missing? I am truly interested in this. 

 

In addition, couldn't they just fully upgrade all the tech and roll out new F-16's if they are still the top dogs?
