UK Ready To Ditch STOVL F-35?
"London's Daily Telegraph reports this morning
that the UK is preparing to switch from the short take-off, vertical landing (STOVL) version of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to the F-35C carrier (CV) model, because it costs less and has a greater weapon load and range." See: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs...5-3993b83569ca If the UK ditches the F-35B model, will the USMC have to switch to the F-35C too?
