Dan Grazier on the latest failures with the F-35: My conversation with Dan, Jack Shanahan Military Fellow, Center for Defense Information Straus Military Reform Project at POGO on his new report entitled “Uncorrected Design Flaws, Cyber-Vulnerabilities, and Unreliability Plague the F-35 Program”. In our interview Dan discusses the four lowlights from the director of operational test and evaluation’s report including

· The gun for the Air Force’s version not only can’t shoot straight, but breaks the aircraft when fired.

· There have been no appreciable improvements in the program’s overall reliability since 2016.

· The entire F-35 system remains vulnerable to cyber threats.

· The simulation facility necessary to fully test the aircraft and train pilots remains unfinished.
