In my ignorance, I assume Hog means "M1.25" dry is without AB and "cruise with min AB" is M1.5, being that Super-cruise is M1.5+
I assume he is talking about this being at the same altitude

I also assume O'Bryan says what he means when he said
"The F-35, while not technically a “super-cruising” aircraft, can maintain
Mach 1.2 for a dash of 150 miles without using fuel-gulping afterburners.
“Mach 1.2 is a good speed for you, according to the pilots,” O’Bryan said"


I also assume maintain, sustain "dash of 150 nm" used with the f-35 is the same as "dash of 100 nm" used with the f-22 and other jets "dashes" and part of a mission requirement and doesn't mean winding a jet to top speed and then cutting AB to see how long it takes to drop out of supersonic
