USMC F-35s in combat
Looks like the USMC’s F-35s have been used in combat off of one of the LHA “baby carriers”. This is a good demonstration of the value of the B version of the F-35s, allowing lower intensity missions using the small carriers instead of a CVBG.

F-35 PR?
Is this just straight up PR for the F-35? Wonder what the true story is. I do tend to believe that the F-35 may be more effective that was originally thought, as all new weapons systems have initial operational problems.

Looks like per unit costs are falling again, to below $80M per unit starting next year.

Super maneuverable F-35
At the beginning of the F-35 testing, stories came out deriding the F-35 for not being able to dogfight an F-16. Turns out that those stories might not have been all that they seemed at the time. While I doubt the F-35 will spend much time dogfighting, it appears to have that ability.

Belgium selects the F-35
Looks like Belgium has decided to go with the F-35 over the Eurofighter Typhoon. Interesting decision. One result should be to further lower the price of the F-35.
