How ever you cut it the F-35 doesn't seem to be much of a replacement for the planes it's pushing aside. It's supposed to be replace the A-10 and the F-16 and doesn't seem to fill either gap as well as the existing platform. Maybe it will turn out to be magnificent on the modern battlefield but so far it looks like a costly dud.
