DoD now plans to fully ramp up production of Marine Corps and Navy versions at a pace of 50 jets per year in 2018, according to the document. Last year’s report projected 50-aircraft-per-year buys beginning in 2017.
Air Force production is expected to hit 60 jets in 2018 and peak at 80 jets in 2021. Last year’s report projected 80-aircraft-per-year buys beginning in 2017.
It won't happen. Because previous promises have also been way off.
The faith based followers are an example of planning to fail. As seen here:
“Since we put all of our eggs in the F-35 basket … we’d better take care of the basket.”
My current bet is 300 F-35s before it is all wrapped up. That is a best-case scenario. And not many of those will be combat capable.
