Sorry for maybe disappointing you, but nobody here is scared of (or even concerned with) this ugly and overpriced plane. An easy target for modern (to say nothing of the future) anti-aircraft systems.
Given the overwhelming success the US aircraft have against Russian aircraft and missiles the F-35 may not be needed until China becomes a contender. Doesn't mean Putin isn't taking his new puppet out for a test drive.
