Almost 160 aircraft per year. Impressive number despite F 35 being weak. USAF will go for quantity. Producing huge number of F 35.

Huge quantities of slow short legged aircraft to fight China in the Pacific.

Agree. Very likely it won't even participate in a potential war with China. Ballistic missile will level any base it is deployed including carriers. With it's low Air to Air load, they won't be able to intercept even 10% of the drones that chinese will send.
But in the air it's gonna be a very dangerous plane for any chinese 4-4.5 gen fighter. They will try to avoid the fight as much as possible and go for the bases.

This plane is not yet fully functional and fails in many areas of its design specs... and it is horribly expensive to keep in operational service... the more of these things the better... nothing is going to bankrupt HATO like having 3,000 F-35s in service...
