Don't know anything about flying, so obviously have no idea whether this is a real problem or not, but as a layman this doesn't seem like a good thing after spending near a trillion dollars. Seems like the only thing that sets the F35 apart is stealth, and this makes me wonder what would happen if the enemy finds the means to overcome the stealth?

I also wonder if things might not dramatically change anyway, such that we have central ‘command’ aircraft from which multiple unmanned drones are launched and controlled in combat. Have no idea, but hope that the people making the military plans for the future do.

No “if” about it. The stealth advantage will be overcome. If it hasn’t been already; it’s just a matter of time.
