Is the F-35 the Air Force’s only fighter?

That performance is a big deal to many air forces that expect to field the F-35 as their only fighter. This article takes a much closer look at the F-35’s real air superiority potential and weaknesses, from the 2008 RAND Pacific Vision study that triggered so much controversy, to other analyses and subsequent developments.

How does the F-35 avoid being hit by enemy planes?

That means using the jet’s stealth and sensors to engage enemy fighters from beyond visual range and avoiding a visual range turning fight where the F-35 is vulnerable. Unlike a Raptor, which was designed from the outset as an air-to-air killer par excellence —the F-35 was not.

How many AMRAAMs does the F-35 really need?

Until the U.S. develops a new missile, the four AMRAAMs carried onboard a fully air-to-air configured F-35 may not be sufficient, but given the infrequency of air combat, it’s not likely to be a fatal flaw. Further, with its networking abilities, groups of F-35s can coordinate their tactics and share data—which is a huge advantage.

Does the RAND study affect the F-35’s fighting quality?

The RAND study also spends a great deal of time on the core American assumptions concerning “beyond visual range” air to air combat, and the current and future capabilities of SU-30 family aircraft. The implications of its examination do affect the F-35’s fighting qualities – and they will be significant to some of the plane’s potential customers.
