Stealth delivery of 2000 lb class JWEPs into areas defended by "double digit" SAMs.

The Bronco and and the A-10 are both successful in permissive environments.

“The turbo-prop jet”

[Why did we build the F-35, again?]

It makes zero sense. What we really needed was a bunch of F22s for air superiority and then tons of slow/cheap/big payload planes to do CAS (close air support). The F35 isn’t superior at anything.
