The Australian evaluation

Evaluation of the Australian overseeing commitee for the JSF program
has been made public, quite an interesting read for those that are interested;
ParlInfo - Parliamentary Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade : 07/02/2012 : Department of Defence annual report 2010-11

and short excerpt,
Australian Committee Hearing Reveals Details of F-35 Performance in Wargame
These results have been compared with a rare public disclosure and they show that the model is scaled correctly. It is putting it in the right order. You would not expect an F35 to be able to take on an advanced fighter like the C35 (chinese Su 35). Its correct nomenclature should not be F35; it should be A35. It is an attack aircraft. To reinvent it as an air superiority weapon is a complete mistake. It is not.
