Ten F-35 Jets vs. Drug Cartels: Stealth Mode Engaged… Kind Of

In a bold move that screams 'overkill or underachieving?,' the United States Navy is deploying ten F-35 stealth fighters to hound Latin American drug cartels. Yes, ten—the same jets designed to dodge radar and world-ending missiles—will now chase people who, last I checked, prefer speedboats and tunnels to aerial dogfights. These $80 million flying Prada bags were crafted by Lockheed Martin to flex military muscle, not play cat-and-mouse with kilos of illegal cargo. Stay tuned as the Navy tries to prove jet stealth truly means sneaking up on smugglers who probably wish they'd just stuck to old-fashioned bribery.
