F-35 has 276 defects, unfit for combat operations: Pentagon
USA's fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter jets have about 276 deficiencies in combat performance that are "critical to correct" before the jets can be declared combat-capable, according to a Pentagon report. This comes after US President-elect Donald Trump slammed Lockheed Martin, the company manufacturing the planes, saying the cost of making the F-35 jets was "out of control".
