Bogdan puts his name behind a new brand of manure spreader

F-35 program boss said no F-35 secrets got to China.

Really?

They may have stopped this person, but if it finds its way to Iran it finds its way to China, and others.

How many of these kinds of efforts were not caught?

Bogdan:

“They are years behind us”.

Many in the U.S. thought that way up to about, December 6, 1941.

Now on to the program known as the Just So Failed.

However, General Bogdan said, the program was now on track with all key targets being met. “On all fronts of the program we are making progress,” he said. “That doesn’t mean we don’t have challenges or risks ... but we have a steady program.”

This is, untrue. Engine. Prognostics, Flight Envelop,Combat Capability and so much more are in serious question. Extreme-risk, not, 'steady program'.

The F-35, is likely to get shot down vs. emerging threats, and many existing ones.

Now for another bull-shitter.

RAAF Air Vice Marshal Chris Deeble said Australia was happy with the recent progress of the F-35 program. By midyear, the RAAF would have two Australian pilots trained to fly the first two Australian F-35 now at Elgin air force base in Florida.

He said a key challenge for Australia was to help to ensure a good, reliable and workable global maintenance system for the plane.

No. Australia's problem is getting something resembling the truth, from the Entrenched Defence Bureaucracy.
