@davidrenton F-35A, not even including the X-35A, has been flying since 2006. F-35B since 2008, F-35C since 2010.
F-35A/Is and F-35Bs have been on constant deployments to CENTCOM across multiple nations' services and have been involved in years of continuous combat operations, including bombing, launching air-to-surface missiles within hostile MEZs, and shooting down aircraft.
Cumulative fleet flight hours has exceeded 610,000 hrs, so yes, we are able to compare the 875+ F-35s that have been built to the lesser quantities of F-14s, A-10s, and comparable quantities of F-16s and F/A-18s that were built from the 1970s-1990s.
All 3 JSF variants have dramatically-superior safety records, and far superior effectiveness in combat.
Safety is measured in mishaps per 100,000 flight hours. In the last 10 years, we have lost 65 F-16s, with 38 fatalities.

@dreamrestore213 Please name me these peaceful, "normal societies" free from violence. Fireworks in many of the 30 other countries I've been to sound like a war zone, and none of them were free from violence.
Most do not have professional, well-paid police, so the police are seen as just a uniformed gang of licensed criminals.
Look up the Nordic Biker Wars, Beslan, Paris attacks, school shootings in Netherlands, Finland, Germany, etc. Police mass murderer in South Korea who took M-2 Carbines and hand grenades from the armory and slayed 56 people, with another 33 wounded.
The utopia you cite doesn't exist.
