The F-35 was 'designed precisely' to fight and win in the kind of war happening in Ukraine, former test pilot says
insider@insider.com (Constantine Atlamazoglou) - Yesterday 6:14 PM
 
Russia's war on Ukraine has shown what air warfare over a modern battlefield looks like.
Neither side has the F-35, but it is designed for this environment, former test pilot Billie Flynn said.
F-35s have "capabilities precisely focused on what we have been seeing in Ukraine," Flynn said.
As the war in Ukraine approaches its third month, neither Russia nor Ukraine have been able to dominate the air, as both still have operational surface-to-air missile batteries and aircraft.

This makes the war in Ukraine unique among recent conflicts, and it provides useful lessons about how modern airframes would operate in contested airspace.
