Imagine paying a lot of money for the world’s best car… that was only available to drive you around a 1/3 of the time… (We as a nation have so far paid £11bln for our 37 F-35 stealth jets. The whole programme - if we buy 138 & they are used until 2069 - is set to cost £71bln) https://t.co/OuEWfcGfuL
A recent report from the UK's National Audit Office (NAO) reveals that the British F-35 stealth jet fleet can only perform its required missions about one third of the time. The limited operational availability is attributed to shortages of engineers, spare parts, and corrosion issues in the maritime environment. Maintenance costs have escalated, with the program's total expenditure projected to reach £71 billion if all 138 jets are acquired and used until 2069. So far, the UK has spent £11 billion on its current 37 F-35 aircraft. The NAO highlights structural gaps, personnel shortages, and delays in the program, which collectively undermine the UK's military capabilities. In response to integration delays with the SPEAR 3 standoff missile, the UK is considering the StormBreaker precision bomb as an interim solution for the F-35 fleet.
