Der weltberühmte "War Nerd" Gary Brecher über die F-35:
[i]
“The USAF loves the F-35 more than any other project in history…[b]ecause it’s a disaster. The biggest, most expensive, most shameful procurement scandal in American history. I hear you asking, ‘Wait, wait—are you saying it’s even worse than the F-104 Starfighter, the plane the Bundeswehr called ”The Flying Coffin”?’ Yes, I am. Because as bad as the F-104 was, it didn’t cost $337 million per plane. That’s the projected cost of this godawful flying pooch, the F-35. $337 million per plane. Yes, folks, for slightly more than one billion dollars, you get three very bad airplanes.”

Hier erklärt er, was die F-35 mit "Albanischen Pilzen" zu tun hat. Er meint, dass an dem Teil weniger an Kriegstüchtigkeit gedacht wurde als daran, den Preis möglichst hoch zu bekommen.
"Why is the F-35 Like an Albanian Mushroom?"
