Thanks for the ad hominum. However, that also puts the F35 within S 400 range as well as various Russian SU 35, 30SM, 27SM3 once it crosses the border - not to mention the superior Russian BVR missiles they pack. Kiss your putative F-35s good bye.

I know about F35 combat readiness - just doin’t want to pile on for you F35 fans. And the answer is “definitely not.”

Any plane doing ground attack - including your beloved Boeings - is going to be within range of the Russian anti-aircraft. B-1 (Claimed by Boeing, but not built by them) flying at maximum altitude probably has the best shot at surviving a bombing run.
