I did read the reports on GF. The JSF survived against a set of threats that defeated USAF F-16s and A-10s. That doesn't make it best in the world given the EA equipment of those aircraft. Indeed it's a pretty low bar.

Far from being HDTV, EODAS has cellphone-like resolution - a megapixel sensor scanning a 60 x 60 deg. field. That's why a different sensor is fitted to the helmet for landing.

The F-35 data link (MADL) is no substitute for Rover because there is no ground-based terminal for it, and none is planned.

Brimstone is not in Block 3. JSOW is a moving maritime target attack weapon and its procurement is being terminated.

All these things could have been checked easily, which leads me to conclude that your mission here is to jam the thread.

PS - The use of all caps on the Internet is the equivalent of screaming. Do you not know this?
