They ordered all the packaging materials and warehouse space but cancelled the actual manufacturing and pocketed the savings
>>545957065That's not good, we need those spare parts if China invades us. We will have to order more ASAP
>>545956957have you seen the "people" who maintain those things?calling them nigger is a kindness
>>545957612I don't think they're in charge of spare parts
>>545957582>if China invades usi wish a nigger would
>>545957720>>545957612Supply and aircraft maintenance is full of niggers
>>545956957You hire beaners, jeets, and gooks who sell your secrets to China or anyone offering a buck and a bag of Takis.
>>545956957The 1mil parts in question have a value of $85mil. I'm not sure what parts of the F-35 are cheap enough to have an average value of $85 but it's probably shit like screws/bolts.
>>545958074This.Maybe a seatbelt. Nothing sensitive is cheap.
>>545956957who cares f35s are pieces of shit
>>545958407there's nothing sensitive about the f35. it's a (((stealth))) airplane with radar and software. not that big a deal bud
>>545958074So where did the parts go
>>545956957Niggers use jet parts to make elaborate crack pipes to get fuckeeeed uppppp!
>>545956957In order to get the euros and Australians on board with the F-35 project you had to source parts from their aerospace industry and they in turn past the contracts onto niggerish third world providers.
>>545956957Remember when libertarians were talking about how the pilots were suffocating because they were unwittingly part of the DNC payroll?
>>545956957Israel
>>545958830At that scale? probably fallen onto the floor of wherever they do maintenance and swept into the trash. 1mil parts worth 85mil over what 13 years of being in use now?
>>545956957CHINAAAAA
>>545959307If that were the case we'd be missing millions of parts for every aircraft and vehicle in service and this wouldn't be a big deal
>>545956957Depends on what they are counting as parts. If it's including things like fasteners then this could be bullshit. Even specialty screws like the shitty little hollow titanium ones for the BRU-61 fairings come in packs of 50-100, but each one of them costs something fucking ridiculous like $64 a piece.
>>545957825Supply is almost always a DEI foid.
>>545956957>go missing?Easy. DOD was billed for parts that were never made. Its just the way it works. During the F-22 F23 development program Boeing spend $1B more than allowed, but of course they were paid anyway.
>>545956957When I worked for Microchip Vectron, I heard a story that they had previously sold empty product (cases with no circuit boards inside) to lockheed, expecting to get it back on return where they would give them the finished product. They were behind on the order and needed more time. Manufacturability was in the toilet and whenever there were errors in production they just blamed the wagie instead of figuring out their process properly. The more I see from more procurement the more I believe we are meant to lose ww3
>>545956957romanians break in the parts warehouse and steal
>>545956957israel steals them and gives them to china and russia.
I went on Craigslist: Aviation and saw some parts. Not sure if that's them or not but he wanted $750.
>>545961388Ukraine could use those parts
