please stop dancing, you made a big claim repeatedly through this
""The USN state that within 5 years the stealth capability of the F-35 will be insufficient to penetrate modern AD systems without EW support"
now either show this USN statement or retract your claim
I don't know for certain but maybe they are referring to what the new CNO said not too long ago;
"sensors will start to circumvent stealth" in the future.

"The rapid expansion of computing power also ushers in new sensors and methods that will make stealth and its advantages increasingly difficult to maintain," Adm. Greenert wrote in July. "It is time to consider shifting our focus from platforms that rely solely on stealth."
Will Stealth Survive As Sensors Improve? F-35, Jammers At Stake


PS, this ,already widely known principle,could mean very bad news for all things stealth and also bad news for jammer technology
