Shame the US will turn it off 20 minutes before Russia starts the invasion.
Edit: most interaction with my post is US based. Congrats everyone.

Btw, Switzerland decided to buy F-35s 5 months before Finland. Direct democracy on everything may not be a good idea.

I’ve always wondered if new planes have that “new car” smell.

Russia has nothing to match these fighter jets.

Congrats Finland ! Best 5th gen fighter on the market. Currently there is no country in Europe that produces 5th gen fighters. As of late 2025, Lockheed Martin has built and delivered over 1,200 F-35 fighter jets.
This plane is so hot that currently there is a 10 year waiting list to get a slot.

Did the Finnish check for hidden American soldiers in the fuselage?

Welcome to the vassal club.
This sub always amuses me. It will make posts about pushing for an independent Europe, and then cheer when we buy an aircraft that is dominated by Washington.
“There are no alternatives” No shit, that’s the F-35’s best feature. It stopped other allied nations building their own 5th gen fighters, locking us firmly on the American teat for another 50 years.

These planes would probably switched off by the Americans if the Russians were to invade: waste of money.

I’m not against building new war machines (especially now), but I don’t think they should be celebrated like fucking Taylor Swift were on stage. After all, if it were ever used in a real war, it will kill humans, perhaps innocent humans.
