On the bright side, first confirmed A2A kill for the F-35!

Note that the F-35 sheds very tight, intense and persistent vortices from the wingtips. One of these seems to have blanketed the air data sensors (probe+flush) on the trailing jet, and consequent wildly erratic readings sent the FCS into full GIGO mode.
