“The F-35 is not made to dog fight.”

Correct.

It’s designed for deep strike and interdiction.

By virtue of stealth, targeting and AMRAAM’s it has a respectable, stand-off fighter role.

Most 4th gen fighters would take it out in an actual dog fight.

However, if one gets into a dog fight, it has failed several opportunities to kill the adversary.

No its not, but if the rumors are true and Israel used them yesterday in to attack Assad, then the Russian S-300 missile system could not track them.

Good job F-35 jockeys.

The ‘F’ in F-35 confuses some people.

Precisely. The F-35 is today’s F-111 Kitchen Sink.
