The Case Against the F-35

In the past few months several reputable aviation magazines, such as Combat Aircraft Journal Magazine, have stated that the F-35 is not combat capable. Its April issue had many reports related to the progress of the F-35, but none even mentioned mating the bird to an actual weapon, much less using an actual weapon in training. Apparently the USAF, Navy, and Marine Corps are waiting for a software upgrade titled TR-3 that will control all weapon systems. Until that time the F-35s that have been released to US bases are being used for pilot and maintenance proficiency only.
