Oh dear – 100-million-dollar F-35 crashes near Albuquerque- pilot ejected and slightly injured – part of massive USAF exercises to increase battle readiness held in east and southeast of US?

VIDEO: Your Hard-Earned Tax Money SQUANDERED as F-35 Military Jet Crashes at Airport – Herald Posts
“As shared by Raw Alerts on Twitter, “Currently, numerous emergency crews are on the scene after a military F-35 fighter jet crashed at or near Albuquerque International Airport, causing a huge explosion with dust rising into the air.
I personally witnessed this crash after noticing a large fireball and black smoke rising in the sky, followed by dozens of emergency vehicles heading to the scene immediately. I knew something wasn’t right.
Local media are reporting that the F-35 fighter jet seemed to have issues shortly after take-off, but there is no official word yet on what caused the crash. The pilot reportedly ejected and is being treated for possible injuries. This is still a developing situation.”
The article points the finger at the Bide Administration, though I am sure that the USAF will have its own version of events leading up to the incident.

How Much Does An F-35 Cost? (simpleflying.com)
“The F-35 Lightning II is a multirole fighter jet used by several air forces, including the US and UK, and currently costs up to $109 million per aircraft.
The overall project cost of the F-35 program has increased from an initial $200 billion to over $400 billion, with an estimated lifetime cost of $1.7 trillion.”
Serious dollars!
THE USAF, Marines and Navy has around 800 of these:
£The United States Air Force plans to purchase more than 1,700 F-35As while the Marine Corps and Navy plan to purchase 420 and 260 F-35s respectively.”
The American military has already purchased 796 as of April 2022, making the F-35 fleet the second largest in the Air Force inventory, after the F-16. About 50 more F-35s have thus far been delivered to foreign partners.”
Maybe the downed F-35 was part of what seems to be massive battle training occurring in the east and southeast of the US.
“This amount of military is not normal”.
Onwards!!!
