I wonder how the F-35 performs against other current generation fighters like the Eurofighter or Saab Gripen. And considering the costs, it would need to be several times better, which I doubt. I suspect both aircraft could out-manoeuvre it.
But then the F-35 is supposed to be stealthy so might be able to attack from a distance with relative impunity.
