Another gaff, by another Senator from Lockheed Martin

We can debate the usefulness of the F-35 vs the Super Hornet. And when it is all said and done, the Super Hornet will come up as the winner.

The main reason for this is value. And neither the F-35 nor the Super Hornet are survivable against high end threats.

In trying to justify his campaign contributions, the Senator, when attempting to state the limits of the Super Hornet, instead, describes how the F-35 is a threat to our defense budget.

“...limited to no value in any future threat scenario and will only drain scarce budgetary resources from systems designed to keep us ahead of our adversaries.”

What happened to Senator Champliss. He should vehemently push for reopening the F-22 line instead of promoting the ill-fated F-35.
