The thing about the war games is an interesting one though.
The kill ratio you noted is only when the US networked systems are allowed to exist in full. Once you take it out of that role, which is the explicit role it is built for, it loses.
Again, comments without understanding coming from you.
The blue team of F-35s had only eachother to datalink to.
The red team had F-16, F-15s with AESA radar, ground stations, and targets that were part of the strike package target list.
The F-35 blue team had to defeat air to air defenders, who knew where they would be coming from, when, and had overwhelming numbers advantage. The red team still died in BVR combat before they saw the F-35s.
Yeah fair.
