t43562, that's the way i read it.
There's a little too much understanding and thought required for certain F35 "supporters" to grasp it however
.
Just This Once, that is something i've been worried about for a long time. Again the F35 "supporters" have trouble understanding that the longer it takes to get significant numbers truly operational the more time the "opposition" have to field effective countermeasures.
There does appear to be a belief amongest the faithful that those the F35 is intend to combat will sit politely inactive and wait until the thing is fully operational prior to commencing development of opposing systems...
At the rate of development to date (plus certain whispers re Chinese espionage) it would not surprise me if the countermeasures are actually fielded prior to real IOC of the F35
