TL;DR Summary

The F-35, a high-tech fighter jet manufactured by Lockheed Martin, crashed in South Carolina, raising questions about its high cost and reliability. The F-35, with a price tag over $100 million, is designed to fly stealthily past enemy radar and integrate with allied F-35 systems. However, the program has faced delays, cost overruns, and maintenance problems. A recent report revealed that the jets were mission capable only half the time, far below the desired rate of 85-90%. Concerns have also been raised about the environmental impact and noise caused by the F-35.
