#1 ...Although the -35 is slooooowwwwwwllllly developing into a honest-to-God amazing machine, I'm not too worried at this point:

1: I have no doubt that the IAF has been - in their spare time, of course - doing their best to see what a top of the line, Fifth Gen fighter can do against their radars, SAMs, and other aircraft. They know perfectly well that someday the other side is going to show up with the same toys, and they've been getting ready.

2: There are a lot of differences between the IAF Lightnings and not only ours, but those of the rest of the world as well. The IAF Lightnings have an avionics suite that is mostly Israeli, and VERY different from everybody eles's. They're doing fine.
