I would seriously consider court martialing any commander who used an F-35 to attack tanks.

“I would seriously consider court martialing any commander who used an F-35 to attack tanks.”

The F-35 can carry 2 of these in it’s internal bays, maintaining stealth:

It can carry 8 total with a >600 mile radius...when stealth is not required.

All the while maintaining a decent Fighter capability with the best radar and sensors in US inventory...and two of these:

Why would you court martial an officer for sending this platform to attack tanks? It should be able to take out quite a few.
