American combat aviation warplane F-35 Lightning stay away from lightning?

 "The F-35 Lightning's Vulnerability To Lightning Is Both Ironic And Unforgivable"

Authored by Mike Fredenburg | The Epoch Times via https://www.zerohedge.com | TYLER DURDEN | JUL 28, 2023.

"That the F-35 Lightning II has been prohibited from flying anywhere near lightning is ironic. That the F-35 has been under development since 1994 and that the Pentagon 'doesn’t have a path forward' to fix the F-35 is unforgivable."

"That a plane that’s supposed to be the foundation of American air supremacy has an Achilles heel so easily exploitable is a glaring example of how our military procurement system wastes taxpayer dollars while failing to provide the weapon systems needed to meet our national security needs."

"Yes, the F-35, the aging 'wunder plane' that the U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin have been assuring us for decades is just that one fix away from being ready for full-rate production, isn’t allowed to fly within 25 miles [forty kilometers] of a thunderstorm."

As to why exactly the F-35 "Lightning" cannot approach [or is warned not to] a thunderstorm the reason or reasons not specified. In this regard SPECULATION abounds.

Devoted readers to the blog will have to read the entire article for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
