Not only is it the most expensive fighter jet they could buy anywhere in the world, not only does it repeatedly crash,

You can’t repair it yourself.

You have to get engineers flown from the USA for repairs because there’s secret tech in it that you are not allowed to open yourself.

What a fucking piece of shit plane, I sincerely think it was created just to see who is still licking the US’ boots to this day.

    South Korean pilots reportedly stated that they couldn’t activate these jets without US approval lol.

    Imagine shelling out all that protection money but you still need your master’s nod to be able to use your fancy new toy.

      Well, the South Korean army is nothing more than an American puppet, it does not have the clause that in the event of an armed confrontation, the command of the South Korean army is now commanded by the American army.

          Imagine someone defects with a F35 and gets sent back, “bring us something better”

            Oh, I’m sure the f 35 has some interesting stuff in it. If they could get it off the ground to actually use it though.
