Mark Kelly STUNS Air Force Officials Over 150 F-35s That Aren’t Fully Combat Ready

Senator Mark Kelly delivered a pointed line of questioning during a Senate hearing focused on the F-35 fighter program and ongoing delays surrounding the Tech Refresh 3 (TR-3) software upgrade.

Kelly, a former Navy combat pilot, pressed Air Force officials on why more than 100 F-35 aircraft equipped with upgraded hardware still lack software necessary for full combat capability. The discussion also touched on Block 4 modernization delays, future engine upgrades, radar improvements, and concerns about rising costs if international partners reduce purchases.

In this video, we break down Kelly’s questions, what Air Force leaders admitted, and why the future of America’s most advanced fighter aircraft may depend as much on software as it does on hardware.
