The F-35 can’t do a low and slow sortie over heavily defended ground fire. I don’t care what kind of titanium armor it has. It has weak points and they will be found out soon enough.

How much does it cost to fire 20,000 (or 200,000) machine gun bullets from a 5,000.00 dollar pickup truck to shoot down a 3 billion dollar fighter?

It’s the A-10 that has the Titanium bathtub, not the F-35. Poorly worded news article, by a Brit with no aviation background.

And the A-10 can do that.....once.
The A-10 is good for one mission, close air support in a permissive environment. That is it.

But they’ll get it right no matter how much it costs us.
