F22 rather than F35 but, enough similarity to be relevant?
"I had the opportunity to fly in an opposition Red Air F‐15D fitted with a sophisticated EW jamming capability. I was looking forward to being on the mission having been on the receiving end of “Red Air” over the years. However, instead of witnessing the normal attrition of a strike package I witnessed a demonstration of the superiority of the fifth generation aircraft.
What I didn’t account for was the effect of the eight escort F‐22s. The good thing about Red Air is that you are allowed to regenerate if you suffer a simulated kill.
So what happened? Well we advanced into the airspace about 40nm and were killed with no idea who or what had caused our demise. We regenerated and the next time only advanced 20nm. We regenerated a total of 5 times and only advanced a maximum of 40nm into the airspace; such was the dramatic superiority of a 5th generation aircraft.
Post flight I was then fortunate to view the engagement from the viewpoint of the F‐22 formation. The level of situational awareness was dramatically different. The F‐22 pilots had a complete gods‐eye view of the battle space and the differences between the benchmark 4th generation aircraft and a 5th generation aircraft were quite stark. It is this situational awareness that determines who wins and who losses in the fight for control of the air."
