#4  They’ll have to use mock-ups until they get real F-35s after conquering Taiwan, SteveS. Assuming that they do manage to conquer Taiwan, of course. If not, it won’t matter anymore.

#3  We love the Daily Mail! Where else can you get the latest from GCHQ as well as celebrity gossip and quality T&A? It helps if you can read between the lines, but that is true with any news source.

The photos also show a long runway with several scotch marks at the top end

Scotch marks are why you should use coasters for your drinks.

Interesting about the ChiComs practicing against mock-ups. Train like you fight; fight like you train, right? Or are they using the fakes to train a targeting AI? An autonomous drone swarm that can recognize American fighters sounds like a handy thing to have in a war.
