7. Each F-35 costs $110 million The aircraft began development two decades ago and it still is not consistently available to perform missions The Biden administration requested ONLY 61 more F-35 https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org

6. The Pentagon still uses other countries to justify large increases in military spending. Specifically, the Pentagon is focused on the "pacing" threat of China. We must match China's increases, even though they are starting from a much smaller base https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org

8. But there is an entire bipartisan caucus dedicated to advocating for more spending on F-35s. So it's likely we'll be buying closer to 100 more F-35s when the budget is approved. https://t.co/CFPe69v0Fl — PolitiTweet.org
