CM, they are not my opinions, they are statements from people in the programme. http://www.airforcemag.com/MagazineA...112fighter.pdf
FFS, JSFfan, when confronted with a well run IADS, you have to first suppress some of it to take other bits of it out. Then, as time and mission permit, you get rid of the rest of it piecemeal with advantageous engagements that you choose.

If you need a mental picture, envision peeling an onion.
Or, imagine that you roast one big elephant, and then cut it up into a bunch of bite sized pieces, and then eat it one peace at a time. You don't try to eat the elephant whole.

There Is No Silver Bullet.

The fantasy that F-35 is one size fits all (which is what your excerpt from that mag is) does not impress people who have been in the air warfare business as a career.

Also, please have the courtesy to get rid of the line breaks when you cut and paste the hot air and PR stuff. Better yet, please don't do that C & P thing. See above comments for why.
