Also, the F-35 will have no internal "dogfight" air-to-air missiles; the helmet doesn't work; the software is not reliable; the F-35 lacks performance compared to peer threats or their Western analog (the F-22 and Typhoon.). If the jet is a B or C, it may have left the deck that day without a gun.
The F-35 is detectable.
The F-35 is not a "fifth-generation" fighter. It isn't supportable. It isn't affordable. It isn't survivable. It isn't lethal (because of the other points).
Finally, people like Welsh are unreliable at making sure America can maintain air supremacy. His statements on the F-35, getting rid of the A-10, and the dumb long-shot...getting rid of the KC-10, verify that he lacks sensible air power thinking needed to protect our forces in a war.
