f-35B's seem like an Idea without a mission to me.
The RAF , RN and USMC disagree
Add the USAF to that equation--they just officially announced that they
are
interested in revamping their programmed buy to include some B models as
well.
It's all just a trick: the USAF wants the F-35Bs so they can rip
the lift fan out and put the generator for the laser there. ;-)
Honestly, now that I've said it, it doesn't sound that far fetch...
They better get that laser thing miniaturized quick then because right now
it's HUGE!
