.. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the F-35 revealed
some shocking statistics on just how unready hundreds of billions of
dollars worth of F-35s are to provide actual combat power. In fact, the
report indicated that only 15 to 30 percent of F-35s may be capable of
combat ..
Even for someone who is an F-35 realist, the results are shocking. Not
only is the F-35 fleet's full mission capable rate in the neighborhood
of 30 percent .. , the full mission capable rate of the Marine Corps'
F-35B was a miserable 15.5 percent in March 2023 .. This brings us back
to the question of just how many of the over 600 F-35s delivered to the
U.S. military can provide significant, non-trivial combat ability. The
answer is we really don't know ..
