The F-35 has cost over $1.7 trillion, making it the most expensive weapons program in history. But is it worth it? ✅ Strengths: Stealth Technology makes it almost invisible to radar. Sensor Fusion allows pilots to "see" the battlefield like never before. Multi-role Capability: Can perform air-to-air, air-to-ground, and reconnaissance missions in one sortie. ⚠️ Controversies: Maintenance costs are extremely high. Software glitches and parts shortages still plague the program. Critics argue it's "trying to do too much" across branches. Yet despite criticism, allied nations continue to buy in. For modern combat where information and agility matter more than raw speed, the F-35 might just be the jet that reshapes 21st-century air warfare. #Military #WeaponsAnalysis #F35
