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.

Deploying ten $80 million F-35s to chase drug cartels: because nothing says ‘border control’ like sending fighters built for spy thriller sequels after speedboat dealers. America’s idea of efficiency is when you blitz the jungle with 10 jets but still can’t find the bad guys.
Ten stealth fighters on a drug bust? Sure, next up: Navy SEALs in party boats chasing cartel DJs. The military’s remix of ‘overkill’ is blasting loud.
When your toolkit for a pint-sized drug cartel is a dozen near-invisible fighter planes, you gotta wonder if the Pentagon’s shopping cart is broken or they just really love expensive toys.
