Nitro, "Combat configured 4th gen" are the key words. A lot happens before you get to a guns only dogfight.




Joint Strike Fighter, the name says it all doesn't it? although as per LO's link was sworn to aussie parliament that it has a 'minimum' kill ratio of 6:1 against red air in the 2015-2020 time frame.
4 F-35 vs 8 red air.

Just because it's not called an air superiority platform, doesn't mean it wont have air superiority over its opposition
