Furthermore, several F-35 pilots have been clear in their resolve that the multi-role fighter is able to outperform any other platform in existence.

Patently ridiculous. The F-22 would stuff it up its own tailpipe.

“Perform” has almost no meaning in today’s world anyway. Outside of dogfights, most of the battles are BVR controlled by avionics.

I didn’t google it but have there been many real dogfights in the last 20 years? From all I have read the F-15 still can outperform the new F-35, the latter which was mission-creeped to death.
