US President Donald Trump believes in invisible fighter jets<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

While bragging about the United States military capabilities, Donald Trump made one of his most bizarre claims to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to members of the US Coast Guard on Thanksgiving Day, he told the audience the air force was ordering a plane which was “like an invisible fighter”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump said he asked “the air force guys” about the abilities of the F-35 plane, according to a report in The Independent.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They said, well, sir, you can’t see it. I said but in a fight. You know, in a fight, like I watch on the movies. The fight, they’re fighting. How good is this?” he reportedly said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They say, well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it’s right next to them, it can’t see it. I said: That helps. That’s a good thing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The outlandish claim sent Twitter into meltdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although, it is not invisible, the F-35 is incredibly small and designed to be less visible to radar than conventional aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Billy Flynn, a F-35 Lightning II pilot, told The Telegraph, none of the component parts of the aircraft reflect radar energy, it is impossible to see the F-35 while it is in flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When we want to fire a missile or drop a bomb, the doors open, the bomb falls out, the doors close and the aeroplane is back to being invisible again,” Flynn told the newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This aeroplane, when it flies, is infinitesimally small. It’s not Harry Potter and the cloak of invisibility, but it’s pretty darn close.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In the transcript of his latest speech, Trump also boasted about how much he was spending on defence.<\/span><\/p>\n

He claimed his previous administrations had cut back on military spending for a number of years, to the extent that it became “depleted”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Nobody has the equipment that we have. And it’s sad when we’re selling our equipment to other countries but we’re not buying it ourselves,” Trump said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But now that’s all changed. And I said, the stuff that we have is always a little bit better too. “When we sell to other countries, even if they’re allies, you never know about an ally.<\/span><\/p>\n

An ally can turn. You’re going to find that out.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But I always say make lives a little bit better. Give it that extra speed, a little bit \u2014 keep a little bit \u2014 keep about 10 per cent in the bag \u2026. Nobody has what we have.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re ordering tremendous amounts of new equipment \u2014 we’re at $700bn for the military. And, you know, they were cutting back for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They just kept cutting, cutting, cutting the military. And you got lean, to put it nicely. It was depleted, was the word. And now it’s changing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump then reportedly served up sandwiches to the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Let’s go, fellas. Come on,” he said. “Let’s get up here. Let’s get up here. Yeah. This is good stuff.”<\/span><\/p>\n
