Now you need some F-35's They're stealthy, plus they have the most advanced avionic suite in the world. Just recently in tests, they flew patrol and detected two incoming cruise missiles. They communicated with a Patriot SAM site, which took out the cruise missiles. This allows cruise missiles to be taken out form over the horizon, which cannot be done by a SAM on its own due to the curvature of the earth. It's also been used to destroy sea targets with Army missiles with its advanced sensors and communication network. In A2A combat, its stealth plus its advanced avionics, allows it to dominate the skies. Other legacy aircraft can launch missiles from way outside the target zone, while the F-35 being stealth can guide them to the target unnoticed. The plane is truly remarkable. I wish India had it to thwart off the bullying Chinese.
