The U.S. Air Force’s most powerful F-35 fighter jet has now become a headache for itself. The warplane, built with steel technology, was developed during the Cold War. “The Air Force needs cheaper and lighter fighter jets instead,” said Charles Brown Jr., a U.S. Air Force chief.
The Stealth F-35 fighter is not only expensive but also difficult for pilots. Heavy aircraft are not as reliable. “Instead, the light fighter Jet will join the Air Force in the coming days will be equipped with fifth-generation technology,” he said. The reality is that for the past few years, defense experts around the world have been pointing the finger at the credibility of the US F-22 and F-35.
Now, following the U.S. Air Force chief’s statement, the world’s most advanced steel fighter jet, has been put to the test. The U.S. Air Force has long been working to replace its F-16 squadron. At the time, research was being done to build cheap and light warplanes. However, after 20 years of research and development, the Air Force found a steel fighter jet equipped with heavy and sophisticated technical know-how.
The U.S. Air Force’s F-35 will weigh about 25 tons. It was brought in place of hundreds of F-16s. However, instead of solving the Air Force problem, F-35s have become a headache. So there is a need for a new fighter jet for the US Air Force to solve this problem.
An F-35 with an engine costs $ 100 million. If it is sold to another country, it will remain high even after the equipment is removed. The cost of maintaining the aircraft is also high.
It has some advanced equipment that needs to be replaced after a certain flight time. So the Air Force’s budget is almost spent on this. “It’s a high-end fighter jet,” said Dan Bird, a former Air Force program manager. The U.S. Air Force now has 1,000 F-16s. No new aircraft have been added since 2001. So this aircraft squadron is 20 years old.
