The US military designed the F-35 to fill roles for the Air Force, Marines, and Navy. US taxpayers could be on the hook for $1.7 trillion over the lifetime of the ambitious and versatile F-35 fleet. We went to Hill Air Force Base in Utah to get an up-close look at the F-35 and why it’s part of the most expensive weapons program in US history.

  1. WOW I've never seen such a mass quantity of people who get it. A dead giveaway is this tsunami of pro fart 35 videos from even the manufacturer FFS!!!!!! I keep telling them since these "geniuses" have all the answers for this "amazing" craft to go to the pentagone, both houses of congress, we individuals can't do *&^ about it.

    And yes it's only purpose is to line the pockets of our oligarchs aka the military industrial complex. And Yes 5 Star General, former Chief of Staff of the Army, led the allies to victory in Europe and oh yes 2 term PRESIDENT fer crying out loud knew exactly what he was talking about!!!!!!

    We spend as much as the entire rest of the world put together on our military, 850+ foreign military land bases, the list of top 10 biggest militaries includes us and 7 of our allies, we surround the entire eurasion landmass many times over, we have, by far, the highest tech gear; now exactly where's this threat?

    It's great to see a spark of sanity in this world of boot lickers. 😎

  2. Waste of money 💰 and time just think how much space research and science exploration we could do with this money. This is just for military purpose not anything more than that.

  3. this is one of the biggest scams ever heard in my life. Then on Sunday, 17th September 2023, it falls (I mean the 1.7 trillion USD) just falls from the sky in the US on its own.

  4. Y’all are crazy, compare these prices to advanced 4th gen fighters, the eurofighter typhoon, dassault Rafale, gripen ng. This f35 obliterates any of them and is cheaper.

  5. Why??????????
    Humans are so primitive and stupid????????
    Why just don't do the international hand shake for permanent peace and use this money to create a better society, cultural exchanges, fair trade, research and development for the benefit of all people, WHY???😢😢😢😢😢😢

  6. Fat Amy has been a disaster for the U.S. Taxpayer. Most 4th and 5th Gen. fighters fly circles around it and Congress has cancelled its latest order due to its unfavorable interactions with the new J20.

  7. question is why do producers of the materials to make the plane and resources allowed to gouge the prices just simple things like schools 1 school desk is 100's of dollers for no reason what so ever … dont cost near that to make …

  8. Yeah okay buddy come try to tell America it’s time to pay your debt and id rather my tax dollars goes to one of these things knowing my ass is covered in stead of some college student getting there free ride and going against the ones that died for them

  9. You can blame Biden for this one folks of course we apparently aren’t going to be able to afford an American made air plane when push comes to shove we will just send some ET friends 😉

  10. For 1.7T I could buy a million WW2 spitfires and just swarm the fuk out of Russia,or I could buy 100K missiles and do the same thing,or I could just buy a viable nuclear weapons deterrent for about 40B(UK, trident 🔱 purchase from US),the could take out anyone,I could even just build my own nuke weapons programs for that and probably be able to build the missile submarines complete with the missiles.
    Lots of rich people feathered their nests and bought desert islands with that dough money probably more than a few penthouses and yachts ⛵ to sail off into the sunset 🌇 on well rich on that kind of money 🤑 being passed around.
