I remember the big "kurfuffle" about this when my country of Canada was supporting it and expecting to buy a bunch of them. Finally Canada turned them down and rightfully so. The F-35 is a mess. I worked in the arms industry for 10 years and saw a great deal that was wrong. The contractors are more powerful than the government and they regard a contract as a tool to transfer taxpayer's money into their private accounts. They don't care if what they deliver has any value. This level of corruption exists right across the board, air, land & sea. It's not getting any better.

Made in the USA. Can anyone name one world class product made exclusively by Americans these days. I imagine that in the US you either work in services, the government or construction. The only thing I can come up with is Elon Musks Tesla. Still needs work but it’s a fantastic innovated product that big oil hates. The other is guns and ammo and printing money out of thin air.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Six years after problems were pointed out to designers, the F-35 jet's Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) still has hundreds of flaws and needs to be redesigned, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report on Monday.
"After years of development and testing, the system does not work properly with inaccurate or missing data sometimes leading ALIS to ground flight-ready aircraft, among other problems," the report said. "[The Department of Defence] knows the system needs to be re-designed."
The GAO noted that the F-35 fifth-generation jet is the Defence Department’s most ambitious and costly weapon system and that it relies on its ALIS to manage missions and maintenance.
As of September 2019, there were still 4,700 deficiencies recorded in the system, the GAO said.
GAO said it recommended the Defence Department clearly identify the associated goals, risks and costs of re-designing measurement process for ALIS, which GAO also recommended in 2014, or determined how ALIS issues affect F-35 fleet readiness.
