Do I understand that correct, that such complex maneuvers (did we call those BFM once upon a time?) are not allowed with the F-35 and will break those engines?
I think so. The F-35 really isn't a "fighter aircraft". General Bogdan pretty much alluded to this fact when he described the shortcomings he noted when assuming responsibilities for the program. The best definition as I see it is the F-35 is a gnat, not a fighter.
