Pentagon Paid Lockheed Martin $1.7B Despite Half Of F-35 Fleet Grounded By Poor Maintenance | Defense Express

The inspection found that although half the required time F-35s couldn't take to the air, and their maintenance didn't meet requirements. Despite all this, the American defense department paid Lockheed Martin $1.7 billion for corresponding services.

At the same time, no corrections were made due to economic situation and existing problems. No additional checks were conducted on service execution status and readiness under contract terms, or availability of all necessary components.

The F35 is the most expensive vaporwave artwork in human history by quite a large margin.
