The F-35A's overwhelming superiority has been recorded in some of the most epic air combat in NATO history when the USAF fighter met for the Atlantic Trident (April 12-18), French Rafale fighters and British Eurofighter Typhoon , some results from which they began to leak.
The F-22 fighters of the USAF also participated in the exercise.
The score was overwhelmingly in favor of US fighters, of course, the 5th generation, but the issue for the Greek side is not how the European fighters behaved against the F-22, but against the F-35, as in six months "tired" Mirage 2000 and F-16 third generation, PA will have to face the Turkish F-35A.
Rafale and Eurofighter were destroyed by AIM-120 long before they realized there was an enemy in the shooting position.
The APG-81, the F-35 radar tracking track at distances over 230 km and locking distances of 150 km and firing at the AIM-120 firing range with the Anglo-English fighters, literally did not know "where they came from "!
They never reached distances of less than 30 km and when the English-style fighters did it, they were all destroyed!
All of this from an aircraft that was not designed as an airborne aircraft against aircraft designed as airborne aircraft (let's say Air fighting was emphasized in Rafale), but it has now shown that the 4th of the 5th generation gap is real, as it is not just the stealth features, it is also the electronic systems that give the overwhelming avant-garde.
It was impressed that neither Eurofighter's IRST system was useful, as the F-35's shots were out of range.
In the exercises, F-15E fighters took part with the Red forces and they had the same luck.
The question then is how do some people in Greece consider spending an enormous amount (1 billion initially and up to 3 billion dollars later) to upgrade old F-16s that, because they will acquire AESA radar, will be able to articulate "Dissuasive" reason against the hordes of the Turkish F-35!
When the senior Rafale and Eurofighter are presumed to "eat wildwood" from the USAF fighters, which even - and this has its significance - do not even have a complete flight envelope, as it is believed that the fighter is still evolving!
