U.S. military jet 2013 Ponzi scheme targets Canada

With the DOD 2013 DOTE report out, we can see that the F-35 program has made little progress toward delivering a credible weapon system.

This report, delivered last month to Congress, is a summary of F-35 program progress for 2013.

12 years after contract award, many systems just do not work. Other systems are 50 percent done in development with dubious progress.

What was the F-35 sales force telling Canada in July of 2013?

To be kind, complete nonsense.

---Fantasy numbers

---There is no credible proof of a 700 mile radius.

---None of these sensors actually work in a credible fashion.

---2013 DOTE paints software in a much different light.

---In 2003, LRIP-5 was 120 jets. LRIP-6? 168.

What are the laws in Canada for a vendor that misleads the government?
