it's not designed to be a dogfighter, the F22 does that. The F35 is about destroying targets from far away before it's seen and it's designed to work with land and ship based missile systems where it can take control of those rather than use it's onboard weapons. Then there's the AI stuff. This plane is like no other concept. Think of it as a new stealth fighter with capabilities beyond anything that can do.
If the Chinese go to war with us it will be a very long drawn out war and millions of us and them will die. Its not a matter of if by the way its a matter of when. We are going to war with China. You don't have a choice about this unless you can convince the govt to bend the knee to China and become a vassal state. We have been very lucky and gone nearly 80 years without a real war. It's well over due. The only thing really unknown is whether Russia will be in a fit state to join this war. If they take Ukraine then we will have to fight the new Russian assimilated ukraine and whatever of europe they take. Its coming.
you don't actually know much about the F35 do you. Yes it had some teething troubles but that is because it is the most advanced of it's type to ever exist. Infact there is no other type because this is a brand new concept. Very few people know what this plane can actually do. There is always some fool who knows nothing that thinks they know everything.
Prison is meant to be tough. This fool sprayed a cop in the face. Did he think he was gonna get a thank you letter from trump? If you attack a cop you are going to prison if you are lucky. Many just get beaten to pulp first.
