Lucky it wasn't a 100m USD F-35.

Pelicans, flocks of birds, turbine failure, connectors of FCUs etc and your fleet is down one and (hopefully) the pilot is a new member of the caterpillar club.

A two engine aircraft comes home to fight another day. Any of these events cause the loss of a single-engine aircraft.

I find it difficult to believe that the risk analysis has not been done in the future fighter debate. Any one remember diminishing fleets of the mirage, F-16 etc

This is a case in point.
