F-35 in Royal Navy colors via Save The Royal Navy.org


Don't get it twisted.

The plane is too damn expensive, its manufacturing plan is pure economic blackmail and Lockheed Martin leadership needs to be indicted for corruption.

But "Save The Royal Navy.org" is supporting an organization thats between a rock and a hard place.

I haven't examined it closely but since I really believe this plane will be killed outright or begin its inevitable price death spiral, then what does the Royal Navy do?  Do we sell back the Harriers?  Do they put catapults on their ships?  What does the UK do when the F-35 prices itself out of existence?

What do our allies do?
