The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't buy their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:
"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

That's misinformation. A leading member of the Danish military, said: "We must avoid American weapons at all costs", but we have not said we were sold junk.
@Ravonges @elasticsoul Nonetheless, modern military aircraft need dozens to hundreds of hours maintenance for each hour's flight time, which does make one wonder whether they're primarily designed to maximise profit in the support industry.

@elasticsoul If nothing else, the F-35 sounds like the hardware version of modern software.

@elasticsoul This is the big lie that the USA funded NATO. They spent the most, but then required everyone to by US planes and arms. If Trumpistan doesn't want NATO anymore, we all need to stop buying their shite stuff...

Don't buy your military hardware from the neighborhood bully. You'd be amazed at how well slightly less high-tech equipment works in the hands of well-trained crews.

@elasticsoul Denmark really need to avoid the sunk cost fallacy and just replace the F35's with some European jets. @anderspuck

@tehstu @elasticsoul This raises a very interesting question about Right to Repair issues concerning a potential threat to our sovereignty. I recommend a low level flyover to gather more information. This is a very basic manoeuvre in flight training.

@elasticsoul Buy our stuff or we'll destroy you. How completely in keeping with US history.

@elasticsoul I think the word for that would be “extortion“

@RichRARobi @elasticsoul Buy what exactly? There is no European stealth fighter jet. It will take decades until FCAS is ready for deployment, and it's unclear if FCAS will have any meaningful stealth capabilities.

Much as I hate the very idea of drone warfare, drones used by and against #ukraine are causing more injuries than any other type of weapon.
A drone can stop a tank, sink a warship, or a submarine, destroy a bunker.Unfortunately drones are the future.

@elasticsoul perhaps US engineers should vacation in Denmark and help the Danes work on a plan for engineering and building their own parts plants for those airframes. I'm going to adjust a thought. I bet those engineers all have passports.

@elasticsoul That was always the point. It's a basic part of their war fighting strategy.

We shouldn't buy any equipment from them

@Ravonges @elasticsoul but, you were lol You can rent the airplane as a service, but you don't actually own it unless you can fix it without permission
@whatzaname @Ravonges @elasticsoul and that’s assuming there isn’t a built in kill code that can brick them. The most advanced fighter in the world loses every time when it can’t take off.

Sore losers is what you would call people like that. And for sure this is what Donald J. Trump is, a sore loser…
Oh, and a convicted felon.
