Congratulations you managed to search Google for two more articles which have been proven to be irrelevant in the age of BVR and stealth.

Once again ask any pilot if they would prefer to fly a F-35. F-22 over a 4th gen fighter like F-16 and they will choose 5th gen every time. Reason being Air to Air combat moved beyond close in dogfighting in the 1960s with the development of first short range IR missiles and medium range radar guided missiles.

Stealth aircraft like F-35 F-22 can detect and launch an attack BVR long before the other aircraft ever knows it's there. Fact.

In Red Flag exercises against multiple different aircraft types, 5th Gen dominated when utilising their design strengths, stealth and advanced avionics and weapon systems.

Constantly reposting articles about F-35 vs F-16 close combat is irrelevant and only shows your deep misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of air to air combat and ACM.

Maneuverability hasn't been an advantage in ACM since WW1

F-35 is the best multipurpose fighter Australia can have, it will dominate all 4th gen fighters for decades, fact.

"F-35 is the best multipurpose fighter Australia can have, it will dominate all 4th gen fighters for decades, fact."

Like saying, in 1941, that the Spitfire will dominate all 2nd gen fighters for decades, fact

Never heard of technological advancement? Since when, since Ancient Rome, did a genre of technology last for decades?

Most likely, Australia will never use them in any kind of combat

Most likely a complete waste of money paid for by the taxpayer and profiting the NWO military industrial complex
