"In other news, the head of Air Force acquisition, Will Roper, told me that the attempt to rebuild F-35’s maintenance and mission planning system known as ALIS as a cluster of apps is “going well, actually.”
However, the nascent effort is still an experiment at Nellis AFB run by software team known as Mad Hatter. The next step is, Roper said, for the Navy to decide if Mad Hatter should continue to work on what may become a substantial rebuild of ALIS, which has become perhaps the most troubled part of the F-35 program. That decision will be up to the Navy’s James Geurts, assistant secretary for research, development and acquisition, who now has acquisition authority for the F-35."

at first I noticed this in a Polish article and thought it was a typo I mean no Lot 16 (sixteen) is expected as far as I know: a block buy is expected after Lot 14 as far as I know
right or wrong?
(no "16" info is in the DefenseNews article I posted earlier that is

You mean the bonus is that the Polish F-35 is so stealthy that one delivery already had been made without anyone picking it up? Not even Russian radar? Lol.

LOL but the point of that bonus picture was to show I don't have hard feeling about the F-35 in fact had I visited that Kielce Exhibition, I would've asked somebody to take my picture in front of that copy (I don't have a gear to make selfies)

Do you know whether it is a mock up or on loan?

LOL you're kidding, a linguistic remark follows anyway:
"wierna makieta" were the words of a journalist who praised it:
an accurate mock-up, not "a faithful model" offered by translate.google.com

I think the title is bit Click bait.
At the heart of this is a Tweet by Steven Tumble who is a bit confused.
First F22 and B2 have Chaff and Flare dispensers.
I am pretty sure on this as F22 uses the AN/ALE52 and have seen video of both putting on a Flare fireworks display.
Next we know where the Flare dispenser is on F35 and AF-3 was certified with the MJU-61A/B infrared countermeasure flare years ago well inverted.
The Launcher on F35 has never been identified in designation. It’s launching point is on the Ventral side next to the towed Decoy dispenser. I suspect that F22 uses a modified version of the ALE52.
ALE52 uses RR180 or RR188, I am guessing that this ARM 210 is a replacement for the F22 and F35. Of course this is conjecture.
