PhilipG, maybe I can help a bit.
3i software is currently charging around on various Exercises and scenarios, kicking ass in applicable mission sets - remember it's only "IOC" and the stated 3i capability is for "limited war fighting". Details can't be discussed, naturally. If people choose to not believe that, fine. Morten is stating how impressive it already is at the initial war fighting capability and that's in comparison to his previous experience, so quite interesting.
3F is already in developmental test and the operational test guys will get it next year. 3F will bring the full war fighting capability in terms of some of the sensors, fusion upgrades, and will complete the mission sets. That means it can charge around kicking ass in all declared missions. When sufficient jets/squadrons and personnel are trained up and established at readiness, FOC will be declared.
