Today near Washington crashed American military aircraft. It turns out that the old planes are falling, and the purchase of new F-35 Tramp refused. Maybe this was agreed by Putin and his team Trump?
I think there is much more about American military situation that we don't know, and it would be pointless to discuss about it. But one thing is for certain, America spend a lot on its military power, and i would say too much. And even with that much money spent they are not good in military capability. Its not just needed to give a person 10 000+ (or however much) dollars gear, that person need to be smart enough to use it too. Maybe american military tech is failing not because of old, but because its poorly made in first place.
The American defense budget is almost $600 billion per year, which is higher than the combined defense spending of Russia and China. But most of this fund is mismanaged or wasted in useless projects such as the F-35.
