Raporttien kehityskaaressa on hyvä huomioida, että koska koneet ovat yhä enemmän "operatiivisia", esim. Israel julistanut IOC:n aika äskettäin, niin se rajoittaa mitä asioita voidaan ääneen sanoa tai nostaa tikun nokkaan.
Vuosi sitten oli sanamuoto:
“if used in combat, the F-35 aircraft will need support to locate and avoid modern threat ground radars, acquire targets, and engage formations of enemy fighter aircraft due to unresolved performance deficiencies and limited weapons carriage availability.”
Tänä vuonna:
"The program will not be able to completely mitigate the many open deficiencies by the end of SDD, resulting in shortfalls in fielded Block 3F capabilities identified in the JSF Operational Requirements Document (ORD), capabilities the F-35 needs in combat against current threats."
"the program will likely deliver Block 3F to the field with shortfalls in capabilities the F-35 needs in combat against current threats"
"Detailed descriptions of technical and weapons employment problems, along with corresponding fixes required to ensure combat performance, are classified"
Eli miten paljon on tapahtunut edistystä ja miten paljon on kyse erilaisista sanamuodoista saman asian äärellä.
