I hope it was worth the $1.5 trillion.

Combat? Dropping bombs may be “combat” but when is last time US aircraft engaged othe aircraft?

the rest of the story:
USAF F-35As Flew First-Ever Combat Strikes With Radar Reflectors And Sidewinders Fitted The F-35As flew in a less than stealthy configuration as the aircraft's low observable capabilities weren't needed - at least not yet.
By Tyler Rogoway April 30, 2019
"The aircraft are clearly seen fitted with AIM-9X air-to-air missiles on their wingtip pylons and radar reflectors bolted on atop and below their fuselages. This gives them a large radar signature, which makes sense as they are operating over areas like Iraq where low-observability isn't an advantage as air superiority is largely assured."

Call me back when an F-35 has a successful sortie and shoots down a MIG. I don’t trust that platform for chit.

JDAMs are regular unguided “dumb” bombs fitted with a GPS-based guidance system and ... huh?

... so why did they need this half-billion dollar weapons platform to drop a couple JDAMS when it could have been done with a far cheaper A-10?
