Well if your talking bout the SR71 then your right but that bird wasn dependent on tech as the new ones are and remember please the 35 uses a ALIS system for maintaining and logistics if somehow that could be infected them it has exactly the same effect total shutdown of the fleet

I am indeed, but don't forget the SR-71 was so far ahead of the competition, it still retains ALL Of its world records, NO ONE ELSE even attempted to design an airplane at that level of performance... over 4,000 anti aircraft missiles were fired at the swiftly departing SR-71, and it outran each and every one...

but that same thing will NOT be true of any legacy fighter, they are each one extremely vulnerable to this new generation of anti-aircraft missile! Jamming will only cover a certain percentage of weapons employed against you, the rest will take you down...

So I don't possibly see how you could naively assert that the USN or anyone else are bettering their situation by buying and flying last Centuries aircraft..

While I wish that the F-22 were still in production, and that we actually owned 500 or so, that's not our present reality, the present reality dictates that the F-35 be built in sufficient number to perform the mission that it was designed for, as well as the mission that's been foisted upon it, by the cancellation of the F-22.

I'll say it! "IT Can't Happen", no doubt the F-35 has been hardened against cyber and EM attacks,,, it seems rather naïve to suppose that nobody at LockMart or in the US Military has forseen the attempts of our enemies to HACK our birds... so we probably ought to give the good folks in the US Military and LockMart a little bit of credit! since they have been designing, building, and flying "stealthy aircraft" since the late 50's, and very successfully I might add, we owe them a tremendous debt of honor and gratitude for providing us with the equipment necessary to win!

Air Force Brat of that most would agree the 22 was stopped way to soon and the price to restart is way too high somewhere around 200 million per bird as what Iv read probably one of the reasons there is talk of a 6th gen bird surfacing even before the 35 is fully developed and deployed if the 35 8s such a great be all and end all bird such talk would not be occurrig

One simple thing too the 71 was designed with out computers and didn' take 20,some odd years to deploy granted the 35 is more complex but come on this is Lockmart milking a project for all of its worth and then some
