Delay is good for the F-35 program leadership

Nice.

The F-35 motor burn out now gives the leaders of the Ponzi-scheme more excuses to delay their shitty aircraft.

The radar-evading plane was supposed to be combat-ready by next July, according to Bloomberg News, but the F-35 still needs to pass in-flight software testing. Currently, the software testing for the Marine Corps edition of the plane, the most technologically complex of the models, is five months behind schedule.

"Many test points remain blocked or difficult to achieve because" of the flight restrictions, Jennifer Elzea, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon director of operational testing, told Bloomberg. "This may cause further delays in completing" testing of the software.
