When you have criminals in charge of the system nothing will go right direction.
当你让罪犯掌管这个系统时，一切都不会朝着正确的方向发展。
WOW SIR VERY DANGEROUS .I WILL NEVER GO TO USA ! BUT THIS IS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD , WE NEVER DO SCAM AND WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE , I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA
哇，先生，非常危险。我永远不会去美国！但，这就是我为什么如此幸运地生活在超级大国印度的原因，作为世界上最干净的国家，我们从不诈骗，我们尊重所有女性，她们晚上可以独自安全行走，我们到处都有干净的食物和厕所，我知道很多穷人嫉妒超级富裕的印度。
Probably not missing , more like never delivered! I remember ordering parts to repair equipment in the Army .Supply clerk would say they were delivered but they never made it to supply warehouse. Things get lost when billions of dollars in parts are spread out all over the world in multiple logistics loops or they were never produced in first place just padding some defense contractors finances.
可能不是丢失，更像是从未交付！我记得，我们曾经在军队里订购零件来修理设备。供应员会说它们已经送到了，但从来就没有送到供应仓库。
当数十亿美元的零件，分散在世界各地的多个物流中一直循环，或者它们最初从未生产出来过，只是有些国防承包商做了黑账时，东西就会被丢失。
It doesn’t matter where products go as long as money go to the right pockets
产品去了哪里并不重要，只要钱放在正确的口袋里就好了。
In simple terms it called corruption at the highest level.
简单地说，它被称之为：顶层腐败。
I worked as a Computer data base Analyst at a telephone company in 1980's. some phones were with installer in trucks but our system knew where each and every phone was. And Defence dept does not know where its parts are. This is beyond my comprehension.
20世纪80年代，我在一家电话公司担任计算机数据库分析师。有些手机被配置在卡车上，但我们的系统知道每个手机的位置。但，国防部却不知道它的零件在哪里。这是我无法理解的。
That plane is so stealth, billions in spare parts just go invisible.
那架飞机是如此的隐形，数十亿的零部件就这样隐形了。
I always thought that is the privilege of Russian oligarchs and high-ranked officers. But obviously, Americans are also good at this 'art'.
我一直认为这是俄罗斯寡头和高级官员的特权。但显然，美国人也擅长这种“艺术”。
sounds like corruption to me
听起来像是腐败。
“How difficult is it to maintain an Excel sheet?” LOL This comment was gold!
“维护一个Excel表格能有多难？”
哈哈，这条评论很给力！
According to many experts F-35 project has big corruption problems since the start; overcharges, changes of the plan, fleet isn't nearly finished, etc. F-16 designer wrote an interesting article about building both jets....
根据许多专家的说法，F-35项目自启动以来就存在很大的腐败问题：费用过高、计划变更、机队尚未完工等。F-16设计师写了一篇关于建造两种喷气式飞机的有趣文章……
Quote from The Hill: The Defense Department has failed its fifth-ever audit, unable to account for more than half of its assets, but the effort is being viewed as a “teachable moment,” according to its chief financial officer. After 1,600 auditors combed through DOD’s $3.5 trillion in assets and $3.7 trillion in liabilities, officials found that the department couldn’t account for about 61 percent of its assets, Pentagon Comptroller Mike McCord told reporters on Tuesday.
引用《国会山报》的话：国防部首席财务官表示，国防部第五次审计失败，他们无法说明其一半以上资产的去向，但这一努力被视为“汲取教训时刻”。五角大楼主计长 Mike McCord 周二告诉记者，在1600名审计员梳理了国防部3.5万亿美元的资产和3.7万亿美元的负债后，官员们发现国防部无法出示其61%左右资产的账目。
Let me guess, these parts are top secret technology right? I'm sure whoever received these 'missing spare parts' paid the big guy his ten percent.
让我猜一下，这些零部件是绝密技术，对吧？我敢肯定，无论是谁收到了这些“丢失的备件”，都付给了这个大家伙10%的报酬。
This is not a surprise. I remember The Pentagon’s massive accounting fraud scandal in 2018 where the audits showed at least a mind-boggling $21 trillion of Pentagon financial transactions between 1998 and 2015 could not be traced, documented, or explained.
这并不奇怪。我记得2018年五角大楼发生的大规模会计欺诈丑闻，审计显示，1998年至2015年间，五角大楼至少有21万亿美元的金融交易无法追踪、记录或解释。
Thank you for this incredibly critical report on a hugely important topic. Best case scenario, it was just corruption. Worst case scenario, they ended up in some other country which will reverse engineer them.
感谢您就一个非常重要的主题发表了这份令人难以置信的批评性报告。最好的情况是，这只是腐败。最坏的情况是，他们最终去了其他国家，这些国家将对他们进行逆向工程。
Pentagon has the biggest budget but they're not keeping books??? Niiiice.
五角大楼有最大的预算，但他们不记账？？？很好。
The parts aren't missing, they never existed
零件没有丢失，它们从未存在过。
The Pentagon’s latest estimated cost to develop and procure the F-35 fighter jet, the world’s most expensive weapons program, has edged up to $412 billion. What's 87 million for them in lost spare parts? lol
五角大楼最新估计的研发和采购F-35战斗机的成本，已小幅上升至4120亿美元，这是世界上最昂贵的武器项目。8700万对他们来说算什么？哈哈。
My brother worked for the RAAF for years and there was always problems getting spare parts from America and it was illegal to find alternative suppliers.I suspect it was a deliberate method for controlling the aircraft after sale
我哥哥在澳大利亚皇家空军工作了多年，从美国获得备件总是有问题，寻找替代供应商是非法的。我怀疑这是一种蓄意的售后控制方法。
The parts for the F-35 is made in a dozen countries. Logistics should of been a key factor with this plane with so many hands in the pot.
F-35的零部件在十几个国家制造。物流应该是这架有这么多人参与的飞机的关键因素。
'how difficult it is to maintain an Excel sheet" ... that's why I love news with Palki
“维护一个Excel表格能有多难”……这就是为什么我喜欢Palki的新闻的原因。
If this is true then I cannot believe this is happening..Perhaps these contractors faked making these parts and billed the government for spare parts that were never made.
如果这是真的，那么我真的不敢置信……也许是那些承包商伪造了零件制造记录，并向政府收取从未制造过的零部件的费用。

"How difficult is it to maintain an excel sheet"
“维护一个Excel表格能有多难？”
How does a million spare parts get valued at 12 million, is each part worth only 12 dollars?
一百万个备件是如何被估价为1200万的，每个零件的价值只有12美元吗？
A fighter jet designed to shoot down Ballons is now touted to be the most advanced and sophisticated jet in the world !
一架设计用来击落气球的战斗机，现在被吹捧为世界上最先进、最精密的战斗机！
The Pentagon could not explain the disappearance of Billions of USD either
五角大楼也无法解释数十亿美元的消失。

I love your matter of fact reporting. It's simple & to the point, including your valuable opinion. As an ex military man, myself. I just hope that all the parts are where they need to be and believe that our military is ready and capable, no matter what they fly. There are other very valuable comments here as well, very good points by all. Stay safe.
我喜欢你实事求是的报道。简单又切中要害，包括你的宝贵意见。我作为一个退役军人。我只是希望所有的零部件，他们都呆在他们应该呆的地方，并相信我们的军队时刻都是做好准备并有能力的，无论他们要飞到哪里。这里还有其他非常有价值的评论，大家都提出了非常好的观点。保持安全。
The US airforce cannot fully account for its spare parts, but the scenario may be the same for every other airforce, be it China, India, Pakistan, Ethiopia or the Bumbulabumbo Republic. All may be in the same soup.
美国空军无法完全说明其备件，但其他所有国家的空军的情况可能都是一样的，无论是中国、印度、巴基斯坦、埃塞俄比亚还是Bumbulabumbo共和国。可能都是同一个样子。

This is nothing short of a surprise. Remember before 2001 the 1 to 2 Trillion dollars that was missing from the defense department and the audit then.
这简直是一个惊喜。还记得2001年之前，国防部和当时的审计中遗漏的1到2万亿美元吗？
you come up with reports after thorough research that even american tv media or newspapers are afraid to publish
你经过深入研究，并作出了报道，但是，美国的电视媒体或报纸都不敢发表这个新闻。
They should let IRS do the stock and account work
他们应该让国税局去做库存管理和会计工作。

Each plain costs nearly 150 million dollars. Only 80 million worth spares missing.
每个飞机耗资近1.5亿美元。只有价值8000万的备件丢失。
So if Australia needs parts for its' F35 fighter jets, they might not be available. Makes one wonder what happens WHEN the subs arrive and there might nor be parts for them as well. $368b for subs without a service warranty.
因此，如果澳大利亚需要其F35战斗机的零件，它们可能无法获得。这让人想知道，当潜艇到达时会发生什么，而潜艇可能也没有部件。3680亿美元购买一个没有服务保证的潜艇。
Sometimes they intentionally spread rumours, if it is not millitary corruption than they are possibally sent to Ukraine by mistake
有时他们会故意散布谣言，如果不是军事腐败，那么，他们可能是被错误地送往乌克兰了。
Typical of the gross negligence existing in the US defense department. Corruption, and more...
典型的美国国防部存在的严重疏忽、腐败等等……
clueless, sounds better than we did it via warlords
一无所知，听起来比我们经由军阀做的要好。

Corruption in america has reached a very dangerous level.
美国的腐败已经达到了非常危险的程度。
You cant track inventory through excel sheets. if only it were that simple
您无法通过excel表跟踪库存。要是这么简单就好了。

According to Pentagon, accounting is the very difficult thing to do. But they can produce super sonic weapons
根据五角大楼的说法，会计是一件非常困难的事情。但他们可以生产超音速武器。
How could they do an Audit without data of which parts should be there? Someone’s lying
如果没有哪些部分的数据，他们怎么能进行审计？有人在撒谎。
lol. Fact is inventory records are wrong in every company because staff are under pressure to get the job done as quick as possible - bookkeeping always gets "delayed" and often never gets completed. There's nothing uncommon about that. But reading the comments section, this post is clearly designed to play into their minds and inexperienced dreamers that like to focus on conspiracies.
哈哈。事实上，每个公司的库存记录都是错误的，因为员工都面临着尽快完成工作的压力——记账总是“延迟”，而且往往永远无法完成。这并不罕见。但阅读评论部分，这篇帖子显然是为了迎合某些人的想法，这个某些人指的就是那些喜欢关注阴谋的缺乏经验的梦想家。
They should get McDonald's to take care of the inventory cuz McDonald's can tell you how many cups and how many straws are in every restaurant
他们应该让麦当劳负责库存，因为麦当劳可以告诉你每家餐厅有多少杯子和多少吸管。
Combine this with the 27 tons of explosives that went missing during freight couple days ago, this is getting scary.
再加上几天前在货运过程中丢失的27吨炸药，这变得越来越可怕。
Pentagon perhaps needs to start from wedge writing in the accounting and inventory. May help
五角大楼也许需要用楔形文字来做会计和库存。可能有帮助。
As a warplane the F-35 has been certified by military experts as having about 700 different technical problems which need upgrading. And it is already extremely expensive not only to buy but also to fly it. Several experts in USA express their opinion that as a 5th generation warplane , it is already a market failure and should be abandoned in favour of developing modern and upgraded editions of other warplanes like F-15 , F-16 or F-18.
作为一架战机，F-35已经被军事专家证明存在大约700个不同的技术问题，需要升级。美国几位专家表示，作为第五代战机，它已经是市场上的失败，应该放弃，转而开发F-15、F-16或F-18等其他战机的现代升级版。
Their parts are gone to different parts of the world! Corruption!
他们的零部件去了世界的不同地方！腐败！
The USA has the best military technology ! And it's partners with other countries for military technology ! That's why they are the best military !
美国拥有最好的军事技术！它在军事技术方面与其他国家合作！这就是为什么他们是最好的军队！
The government buys these parts with tax money, it's more likely the case that the money was pocketed and parts were delivered only on paper and not in reality. It's basically tax theft by officials.
政府用税款购买这些零件，更可能的情况是，这些钱被收入囊中，零件只在纸上交付，而不是在现实中交付。这基本上就是官员偷取税收。

Money were paid for by the US government , but actually the physical parts were not really delivered , except signed off as already accepted into inventory.
钱是由美国政府支付的，但实际上，实物零件并没有真正交付，只是签字确认已被纳入库存。
Look at all the overweight American military personnel in this video, very diverse. I’d beat a million dollars that Russia and China’s military don’t look like that.

I ran both the largest military perishable supply depot, and the largest War Reserve and Readiness stockpile, both in Europe, for six straight years. How did we keep precision tracking and accountability of thousands and thousands of items? Pen and paper, manual inventory entry logs! If you don't see it, and can't touch it, it doesn't exist. No matter what the computer said! They need to go back to manual, frequent, and visual verification inventory methods. And use their computers as backup, not primary inventory validation.
我连续六年经营着欧洲最大的军用易腐物资库和最大的战争储备和战备物资库。我们是如何对成千上万的物品进行精确跟踪和问责的？笔和纸，手动输入库存日志！如果你看不到它，也摸不着它，它就不存在了。不管电脑怎么说！他们需要回到手动、频繁和可视化的库存验证方法。并将计算机的数据用作备份，而不是主要的库存验证数据。
The cost to maintain these planes is in the billions... much more than the plane costs. No wonder the parts are missing.
维护这些飞机的成本高达数十亿……比飞机的价格高得多。难怪零件不见了。
The parts or its monetary equivalent is most probably going to their pockets!
这些零件或其货币等价物，很可能会落入他们的口袋！
As there is no audit...wouldn't be better and cheaper to order parts and not manufacture them...therefore you have phantom spares.. never went missing...
和没有审计没有区别……订购零件而不是自己生产，不会更好、更便宜……因此您的幻影备件……从不失踪……
China is going to give an Award to Palki Sharma, and another Award will be given to the stockroom clerk at the F35 facility.
中国将向 Palki Sharma （视频主持人）颁发一个奖项，F35工厂的仓库管理员将获得另一个奖项。
America can hire me for maintaining files.
美国可以雇佣我来维护档案。
Could this lost of inventories be due to failure of the machine itself. May be their machine is not that great as it has been talked about. May be planes are faulty!!
库存的损失可能是由于机器本身的故障造成的吗？也许他们的机器并不像人们所说的那么好。可能是飞机出了故障！！

I think we missed the point: the parts do not exist. They were never manufactured. That is why there is no record keeping - this is an endemic problem. 100% return on no effort is much more profitable than price gouging parts you have to manufacture. Think of the benefits to the seller: zero storage costs, zero warranty returns, zero manufacturing cost. They probably have a book entry for items purchased but still in production. It takes everyone to be in on the caper for it to work. Otherwise they disappear.
我认为我们没有抓住要点：这些部分并不存在。它们从未被制造出来。这就是为什么没有记录——这是一个普遍存在的问题。
不付出任何努力就能获得100%的回报，这比你必须制造哄抬价格的零件要有利可图得多。
想想对卖家的好处：零存储成本、零保修退货、零制造成本。他们可能有一本关于已购买但仍在生产中的物品的书籍。它需要每个人都参与其中才能发挥作用。否则他们就会消失。
The nervous smile you make when you inform the world you'd be providing F-16's to Ukraine, but messed up the order like a McDonald's meal and gave them the wrong order instead in the form of a F-35 .
当你告诉全世界，你将向乌克兰提供F-16战斗机，但却像麦当劳一样把订单搞砸了，并以F-35的形式给了他们错误的订单时，你会露出紧张的微笑。
Or they were never manufactured, but manufacturer received payment in full and a substantial portion of it was “gifted” to the persons in government who placed the orders!
也许它们从未被制造出来，但制造商收到了全额付款，其中很大一部分被“赠送”给了下订单的政府人员！
Well done Biden and company. You guys are creating mess upon mess because those in top positions learn from their boss.
干得好，拜登和他的同事们。你们制造了一堆又一堆的混乱，因为那些身居要职的人会向老板学习。
Hye! Don't blame Military. Remember F35 is a Stealth aircraft, So all it's spares parts are stealthy too, Spare parts are not missing they are in a stealth mode now, you just can not see those and so can't count them
嗨！不要责怪军方。记住F35是一架隐形飞机，所以它所有的备件也都是隐形的，备件并没有丢失，它们现在处于隐形模式，你只是看不到它们，所以无法计数。
The F35 program is an unmitigated disaster, but you get when you rush-purchase a product before it has gone through a proper testing and development phase
F35项目是一场彻底的灾难，但当你在产品经过适当的测试和开发阶段之前，就匆忙的购买产品时，你就会得到这样的东西。
Who has more than one head over their shoulder to be an honest auditor of military inventory? U get into a fiasco with civilian suppliers, u get removed, mostly transfered. U get into a fiasco with military suppliers, ur helicopter engine accidentally fails midair and suddenly the parachute that was supposed to be in the helicoper is missing too.
谁敢做一个诚实的军事库存审计员？与平民供应商战斗，你会陷入了一场惨败，你被撤职，通常会被转职。与军事供应商战斗，你会陷入了一场惨败，你的直升机发动机在半空中意外失灵，直升机上原本应该有的降落伞突然也不见了。
The parts were probably paid for but only manufactured on paper. Such is the American war making capacity. Similar to the French military supply depots before the Franco Prussian War. They were supposed to be filled to capacity and it was discovered the material was only on paper.
这些零件可能是花钱买的，但只是纸上交付。这就是美国发动战争的能力。类似于普法战争前的法国军事补给站。它们本应装满，但后来发现这些材料都只出现在纸上。
Competent accounting could raise expectations of accountability. And... Accountability isn't something we can have. It's just too hard.
有能力的会计可以提高对问责制的期望……还有，我们不能对此进行问责。这太难了。
I live in America and if that surprises anybody that things come up missing that are very expensive. I feel sorry for you. It happens here all the time.
我住在美国，如果有什么东西丢失了，会让任何人感到惊讶的话，那么，一定是因为东西非常昂贵。对此我深感抱歉，这里经常发生这种事。

Good information, those countries who bought F35 are in danger, in case of wars, no spare parts. These advanced fighter jets will be useless in times of war. Never depend on the US for fighter jets. they must diversify their procurements. Poor management in the US, no proper audit on precious military spare parts etc.
好消息，那些购买F35的国家处于危险之中，一旦发生战争，就没有备件。这些先进的战斗机在战争时期将毫无用处。永远不要依赖美国的战斗机。他们必须使多样化采购。美国管理不善，没有对珍贵的军用备件进行适当的审计。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
Most likely they don't want anyone to know where the spare parts went as American tax payers paid the bill.
他们很可能不想让任何人知道备件去了哪里，因为美国纳税人支付了账单。
How can they follow up with the inventory? No software? Simple Excel table? Money paid and received? Even in a basic grant, you need to show details like what you bought, cost, how relevant yo the project and its use. Then go through check-up
他们是如何跟进库存的？没有软件？简单的Excel表格？付款和收款呢？即使是基本的拨款，你也需要显示你买了什么、成本、与项目的相关性及其用途等细节，然后还要进行检查。
Something sinister is going on and someone sure knows where the parts are or why they are not where they're supposed to be. But the thing is we'll never know.
一些险恶的事情正在发生，肯定有人知道零件在哪里，或者为什么它们不在应该在的地方。但问题是我们永远不会知道。
Remind me the cement trucks in Maracana stadium (Brasil, ) ....the trucks ....3/4 empty, but they count all the trucks like they were full.
让我想起马拉卡纳体育场（巴西）的水泥卡车……卡车……的3/4是空的，但他们把所有的卡车都数得像装满了一样。
So the spare parts are not vulnerable to attack. Sounds like good strategy to me.
如此的话，备件就不容易受到攻击了。听起来是个不错的策略。
India’s planes are like sitting ducks in a lake in comparison to the USA oldest fighters. It would be an overkill to used a Raptor against an Indian military aircraft, much greater than the Chinese spying balloon!!!!
与美国最古老的战斗机相比，印度的飞机就像湖中的鸭子。用猛禽对付印度的军用飞机就可以赶尽杀绝了，比中国的JD气球要显眼得多！！！！
The F-16 is better than any war plane India flew!!! The other brother aka F-15 EX strike Eagle, a bet you never heard!!
F-16就已经比印度驾驶的任何军用飞机都要好！！！他的另一个兄弟，又名F-15 EX打击鹰，又一个你从未听过的稳赢的飞机！！
It appears the Indians realized, they have bull shit weapons all this time not knowing until now with the war on Ukraine, so now they’re trying to downplay American ingenuity, ability, and capabilities!!! Are you crazy???? Why accepting American technology, and manufacturing jobs if that’s the way you’ll feeling???
看来印度人已经意识到了，他们一直用牛粪做武器，直到现在才知道乌克兰战争，所以现在他们试图淡化美国的独创性、能力和军事武器！！！你疯了吗？？？？如果你有这种感觉，为什么要接受美国的技术和制造业工作？？？
You’re crazy,and delusional to think or even imagine such foolishness, but yet I can understand, India never get it’s hands on real military equipments!!!!!
你疯了，在妄想，甚至想象都是这样的愚蠢，但我能理解，印度从来没有得到过真正的军事装备！！！！！
Gee if only we had a federal agencies that could investigate this crime .
但愿我们能有一个联邦机构来调查这起罪行。
