If the F35B is used at a high operational tempo in a theatre so hot as to require SRVL's how long are the brakes going to last?
They will be required to stop about 20tonnes at about 60mph. How long to truck or car brakes last? They are designed to work at three times that speed so will be under-stressed.

SRVL is also an emergency/exceptional use not standard operating.
