John Reed enters the F-35 fray and gives no new information but continues Sweetman's line of thinking as far as the stealth characteristics of the airplane. Pity. I like the guys writing but it appears that he has been seduced by the Dark Lord. Go to Defense Tech to get the full read but again, here are the tidbits that caught my eye.
The question was raised toward the end of the presser by an Italian journalist who referenced an “Australian source” postulating online that JSF partner nations are getting F-35s that aren’t as stealthy as the American fleet.I desperately want to know who this Italian Journalist is! Obviously part of the cabal and I under-estimated how far the tentacles of the Air Power Australia organization reach. They have a lacky in the Italian press?!
So, there you have it. Moore kinda, sorta tried to say the Aussie report was bunk but didn’t really. Saying the plane is going to meet everyone’s needs doesn’t exactly give the definitive yes, export jets will be less stealthy than American ones or no, all JSFs have the same degree of low-observable tech aboard.This is the part that annoys me to no end. The guy cleared up the issue and only belief that the man is telling bald faced lies would lead one to think other wise. The question was asked and answered.
Which leaves a simple little question.
Why did someone tap Reed on the shoulder and prompt him to continue this story?
Because it serves the purposes of Air Power Australia and the Merry Band of Haters to attempt to keep this story front and center.
Did I say story? Sorry. Let me restate.
It serves Air Power Australia's purposes to keep this lie going as long as possible. Its bunk and they know it! But if it sows doubts among partner nations then all is well.
The problem is this. How do you defend a program against blatant dis-information?
Answer. You can't. All you can do is muddle through.
Well, not quite all you can do.
What can Lockheed Martin do??????
THEY CAN MAN THE FUCK UP AND PULL ADVERTISING FROM PUBLICATIONS THAT ARE OUT TO KILL THEIR PRODUCTS!!!!!
Grow a pair boys.
In case you didn't know it...wars been declared!
