dude. Based on what? A couple photos? The input of the internet? Seriously. Numbers matter and environment matters. So a few F35 look rusty in a few photos. Get overwhelmed.

I'm not even talking about the F35 looking rusty, but that the overall F35 fleet has low readiness likely due to over usage and too little maintenance.

First, do the Chinese even publish readiness rates? The US does which is why you can draw whatever conclusions you’re looking for.
Next that’s what happens when they actually fly missions and not serve as hanger queens and show pieces.
next yeah “looks” because the skin of F35 is largely composites not metal. We are really talking paints and even then it’s a double standard as the ones that look rusty are the ones deployed on Naval ships. Where J20 is deployed to ground bases.
This conversation was basically an extension of earlier, about how the J-20 was around ~85-90% readiness according to Patchwork, who we take as a somewhat trusted source.
Lmao, this is basically you just making some unfounded claims/conclusions.
Again, I haven't really brought up the looks, just responded earlier to a comment where you say that the J-20 skin will also be worn, and I simply responded with that maintenaince will done such as changing or fixing the skin, or w/e they do.
American Military have unlimited budget. Must be nice to be able to print money like it's nothing.
Retention is always a challenge. The military especially wants to retain highly-trained and specialized personnel.
I heard from a couple Canadian Soldiers that you can't swear and yell. They made the Canadian military kinder and gentler. Welp wish me luck because I am applying for RMC.
Are you angling to become an officer in the Canadian Military? Royal Military College based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada if am not mistaken. I just hope that you and all of the Canadian Armed forces won't be used or part of any armed conflict with China over Taiwan. That would be a great tragedy and irony on your part, especially if you're ethnically Chinese when it's your duty and obligation to kill your fellow Chinese in China per your role as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Having said all of that, good luck, be safe, and much success to your endeavor.
