I WOULD SAY THAT.
Back at the ranch the pilot ejected at "2,000 feet after an aircraft failure" he says? Back to above YES "
depending on how they [F-35 losses] are categorised" but why does that make a difference? How are other miljet stats categorised in your mind.
I mainly worked on military twin engine jets, Tornado and Typhoon.
We categorised aircraft losses as well as other things like aborted takeoff or component removals as either Basic which were attributable or Non Basic which were non attributable such as birdstrike or maintenance errors for example.
A heavy landing which resulted in aircraft being scrapped may be counted by some airforces but not by others.
The US sometimes use the term Mishap without a specific definition of the cause.
Hope that is clear.
