With a unit hosting 100 A-10s theoretically I could support 100 missions.
If my unit has instead 15 F-35s how many missions can I support?
5?
Three to Five, due to maintenance/resupply logistics...
ONE of limited duration and scope (until fuel and ordinance expended).
Despite the wishful thinking of 5 or more missions, of the 15 F-35s: 5 are down for service for the month, 3 are trashed and are parts only, 5 more are due for service on the following day, leaving 2 planes for 1 mission - one for the ground work and the other to fly air cover.
This only works until the Russian AF shows up ...
