According to foreign media reports, Australia has regretted it recently. It spent US$16.6 billion to order 72 F-35A fighter jets equipped with three squadrons, but found that it could not beat China's J-20, which has many problems and hidden dangers.

According to foreign media reports, Australia has regretted it recently. It spent US$16.6 billion to order 72 F-35A fighter jets equipped with three squadrons, but found that it could not beat China's J-20, which has many problems and hidden dangers. Want a refund and return!

So, what are the problems that the F-35A fighter ordered in Australia make him very regretful?

first, the combat scope is "greatly discounted".

Theoretically, the combat range of the F-35A is 1093 kilometers, and this data does not include the actual situation of acceleration in combat. In fact, if the fighter needs to accelerate, the fuel consumption will be increased additionally. As a result, the actual combat range is only 500 kilometers.

This means an unacceptable fact: cannot reach the scheduled battlefield.

This is the only thing that the F-35A cannot compare with China's J-20. The radius of of the J-20 is 1,500 kilometers.

second, stealth performance is "significantly discounted".

F-35 is a stealth fighter. Australians found that its stealth ability was exaggerated by Americans.

In fact, meter wave radars with different frequencies can track it at distances beyond the visual range. The F-35 can be "see" by optical and thermal sensors, and the noise it emits can be detected. If the fuel tank is connected, the invisibility will disappear immediately.

Third, the operating cost is too high.

The Australian Air Force F-35's service cycle cost is about US$475 million per aircraft, three times that of the F-16 fighter jet, which is really unaffordable.

Fourth, the ability to execute tasks is getting lower and lower.

Australia found that the F-35's flight time is decreasing every year due to maintenance needs, and its ability to perform missions is getting lower and lower.

is fifth, the information system is lagging behind.

Australia found that the F-35's autonomous logistics information system was very backward, and the data could not even be backed up, resulting in annual maintenance delays, reduced flight time, and significantly reduced attendance. If it is time for war, it will put Australia in danger.

, sixth, the operating system is outdated.

The F-35 received by Australia has a digital operating system of Block 3F, which cannot fight against the Chinese and Russian fighter operating systems.

The above six problems have caused Australia to fall into a very embarrassing situation. They want to refund the goods, but can the American master be willing? I can't afford to offend. Australia spent a huge amount of money to buy a "depressed".

Australia's embarrassment shows one truth: a country that will have no good ending if it entrusts its destiny to other countries and is willing to be a subordinate of a strong country.

Australia ordered advanced American fighter jets in order to act as the lackey of the United States to curb China. Logically speaking, if the United States wants Australia to do dirty work for it, it should treat Australia well.

But the fact is that the United States has always been very indifferent to its "allies". It wants them to work but does not treat them well. It completely ignores the interests of its allies and even does not hesitate to harm them. The United States often does such things.

Therefore, since you have chosen to be a follower in the United States, you should be prepared to be damaged. If you have any pain, you can only break your teeth and swallow it.
