Video: Co-designer of F-16 & A-10 exposes REAL purpose of F-35 program

[midnight rambler]

"To make as much money as possible (for the MIC)....the F-35 is a lemon."

Very interesting and frank interview condemning the F-35 in the strongest terms possible (which is extremely fascinating considering the source, one of the driving forces behind the development of the vaunted F-16) -

7th Dump's response: "I'll take in the ass EVERYDAY ALL DAY LONG from the Death Cult just so long as I can diss Russians so I can feel good about myself and my extremely deluded belief system. SO WHAT if the Death Cult is sodomizing everyone? It feels good...I rather enjoy it. Hey, did you guys see where a single freshly off the assembly line Russian tank had a transmission problem during parade practice??"

[midnight rambler]

Well, at least the F-35 is an extreme success in one aspect - it's the PERFECT platform for fleecing the American people while they wave the flag and take it up the ass...and feel good about themselves in the process. A con doesn't get any better than that.

[midnight rambler]

Which is more egregious? A freshly off the assembly line tank that has a temporary transmission problem during parade practice or putting American servicemen and women at risk on a wholesale basis for the sake of profit?

Huh, 7th Dump? I'm sure this very unhappy pilot trapped in his cRaptor would love to hear your response.

Wow you'd make Joseph Goebbels proud. I see you've learned much about being a perfect liar and the art of propaganda.

I'll say it again so everyone reading knows.........I've never said the F35 was anything of great significants.
All I've ever said was all manned aircraft are obsolete AND WORTHLESS in this day and age of technology. I'll even say that all battle tanks are obsolete and worthless.


You really dont have much to say now do you little man.

[midnight rambler]

And flattops are equally obsolete when up against Russian and Chinese anti-ship cruise missiles flying at mach 3, especially when launched in a salvo.

These Chinese and Russian destroyers each have EIGHT Onyx anti-ship cruise missile launchers (the Onyx and Sunburn anti-ship cruise missiles can be launched from small vessels as well). It's worth noting that the 'American Defense Establishment' immediately quit getting lippy about defending Taiwan directly after the PLA Navy demonstrated the effectiveness of the Onyx in c. 2003.

So you acknowledge that sole purpose of the F-35 is to fleece the flag-waving rubes?

I didn't watch the video...and just don't take the words as truth...especially when theres clearly an agenda.


It doesn't bother you that Stalin murdered millions to implement the worst form of government ever known on the face of the earth......all designed by lucifer?

Let me say it one more time since you cannot comprehend anything that's straight forward........all manned aircraft are worthless and obsolete in todays battlefield.
Now where in the world did you get the idea that I agree that F-35 was to fleece the population by my straight forward comment?

I see...so you actually acknowledge that you're willfully ignorant. How can Pierre Sprey, the co-designer of both the F-16 and the A-10, possibly have a *Communist* agenda (which you apparently believe).


Pierre Sprey, born in 1937,[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-Mapleshade-1) is a defense analyst and record producer. Together with John Boyd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_%28military_strategist%29) and Thomas P. Christie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_P._Christie), he was a member of the self-dubbed 'Fighter Mafia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_Mafia)', advocating the use of energy–maneuverability theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93maneuverability_theory) in fighter design.
Sprey was born in Nice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice), France, and raised in New York.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-WashingtonPost2006-2) He was educated at Yale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_University), where he studied aeronautical engineering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_engineering) and French literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_literature), and also at Cornell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University), where he studied mathematical statistics and operations research (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_research). He subsequently worked at Grumman Aircraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman) as a consulting statistician.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-Mapleshade-1) From 1966 to 1970 he was a special assistant at the Office of the Secretary of Defense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Secretary_of_Defense).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-3)
The 'Fighter Mafia' worked behind the scenes in the late 1960s to pursue a lightweight fighter as an alternative to the F-15 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-15). The group strongly believed that an ideal fighter should not include any of the sophisticated radar and missile systems or rudimentary ground-attack capability that found their way into the F-15. Their goal, based on energy–maneuverability theory, was a small, low-drag, low-weight, pure fighter with no bomb racks. This led to the highly successful F-16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-16). He also wrote the initial requirements for the A-X program that became the A-10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-10) and optimized its safety features. The "Warthog" appears ungainly, but is "enormously difficult to shoot down", and "devastating against tanks and other armored vehicles."[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-WashingtonPost2006-2)
He is a critic of the F-35 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35). He asserts that despite its 200 million dollar price tag per plane, it is less agile than the F-16, and flies at altitudes and speeds too high and fast to replace the A-10. Compared to the F-16 or A-10 (in both of whose operational roles it operates) he characterized the F-35 as overweight and dangerous, stating “It’s as if Detroit suddenly put out a car with lighter fluid in the radiator and gasoline in the hydraulic brake lines: That’s how unsafe this plane is…" and "full of bugs".[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Sprey#cite_note-Harpers2013-4)

Gawd I love irony. lol

[midnight rambler]

You just don't care about us USAF pilots, do you Donald? Clearly you have an agenda.

I"ve been trapped in this POS cRaptor for FIVE FUCKING HOURS!!!
