F-35 racked up a 28:1 kill ratio at recent Red Flag exercises

[F-22Raptor]

The writers noted that the F-35 is doing well in deployments and has racked up “a 28:1 kill ratio at recent Red Flag exercises in Nevada.” More than 380 F-35s are now flying with all three US services—the Navy recently having declared initial operational capability—and in 17 locations worldwide, the letter noted.

Now that’s what I’d like to see

 

[nahtanbob]

28:1 implies some of the f-35s were shot down

 

[Trango Towers]

I dont buy this

28:1 implies some of the f-35s were shot down

28:1 means that 2 divisions of enemy strength was decimated---.

Many a top tier pilots were possibly dead---and that would mean extreme fear in the enemy camp---.

Enemy pilots demoralized---possibly not fit to fight anymore---.

Were Indian pilots at Red Flag this year?

Didnt America say f35 was rubbish and f16 were outdoing it in combat. Didnt they say war on terror is won and war in Iraq was won. This is psychological war and everyone believes it here. It probably does has a good kill ratio but not as much as they make out

It will never get that chance, as intended by design *wink and serves as marketing purpose.

Would someone please trot out Pierre Sprey? The F-35 haters need a fix.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

Many best minds of world is involved in F35 project. This is improving every day. I am not surprised about this kill ratio. F35 will further improve with passing time.
Russian fighters always proved as inferior in combat fights. Russian only talk big.

You are free to not believe and persuade others to take your side. The most important people are your air force's leadership. You need to convince them that the Americans are lying about the F-35.
