It's the availability of jets that would worry me -https://www.defenceeye.co.uk/2024/01/12/delivery-delays-hit-britains-f-35-build-up/

Just looking at WEBF's numbers how long can they keep up 2+ sorties a day on all 8 aircraft?. Plus, of course , they can't do anything else - flying CAP is it. You're going to need quite a few more aircraft for strike or to reinforce the CAP if things suddenly turn hot.

We need a lot more aircraft and we need them delivered quickly - not dribs and drabs
