So will it protect the grunts better than anything else?

It’ll still lose in a turn fight.

It is cheaper to network radars and write programs that assemble and analyze the tiny blips and determine that, yes, its no bigger than a sparrow, but it’s moving at Mach 1. Then, they’ll launch a cloud of visual tracking drones to shoot it down.
To me the article says the Marines need a different plane.
The future of aircraft in battle is to be pilotless, cheap and disposable. Watch the Israelis in the Iran war and see how its done.

Recently saw one of these on approach to the USMC Air Station in Beaufort SC. LOUD!
I opened the sunroof as it passed over and killed our ears, looked in back and the kids were grinning a mile wide..

F-35 is the biggest FAILURE Congress has shoved onto the military.
Designed to "do everything for everybody", is does NOTHING WELL.
SCRAP IT !

Very interesting how it's coming together and how it will morph into the best beast for the job at hand.
And they're barely just getting started playing with their new toy.
Wait until they've messed around with it for a while out playing in the mud and dirt and figure out what all it can do!
True, it's not a pretty F-16, but so what? We've already got a bunch of them.
From here, it looks like an interesting mix of motorhead and geek hot rodding standards.
It takes the biggest motor and the biggest computer and shoves them both into one fairly stealthy/sexy package that blows stuff up.
What's not to like?

So much for that radar signature the size of a crow.
