That reminds me of Team F-35's testimony to the Australian parliament in 2012.
ParlInfo - Parliamentary Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade : 20/03/2012 : Department of Defence annual report 2010-11
Gary Liberson, Technical Lead Operations Analysis, Strategic Studies Group, Lockheed Martin, said:
"Our current assessment that we speak of is: greater than six-to-one relative loss exchange ratio... in four-versus-eight engagement scenarios—four blue F-35s versus eight advanced Red threats in the 2015 to 2020 timeframe.
"And it is very important to note that our constructive simulations that Mr Burbage talks about, without the pilot in the loop, are the lowest number that we talk about—the greater than six to one. When we include the pilot in the loop activities, they even do better."
All righty then.
Now, can someone explain why - if the F-35 gets better than 6:1 CLER over advanced Red threats, when outnumbered two-to-one - the boss of ACC is bemoaning the truncation of F-22 production.
