However, the question remains, how will AFs of Danemark, or Netherlands eg. fulfill their primary function of air-policing, with such an expensive plane that failed to meet its KPP in aspects that are crucial for that particular task?
After all, Danemark's and Dutch F35s will spend vast majority of their operational life doing air-policing, not bombing sheep in various 'stans or Chinas.
I believe this is an important question that deserves a considerable consideration and a meticulous declaration from LM/JPO.
RN is another matter and, IMO, F35B is a good replacement for Harrier and the only plane out of the three, worth pursuing.
