F-22 did have some howlers (the computers crapping out when they flew across an international dateline rings a bell) but as someone who casually follows high tech stuff including military equipment I don&#x27;t remember anything on the scale of the issues they are having with the F-35.<p>I think a lot of it comes back to scope creep, the F-22 was designed for one branch by one branch to do one thing well, the F-35 was designed for multiple branches by multiple branches to do a bunch of things somewhat well.<p>It&#x27;s an absolute bear of a programme.
