los primeros lotes del F-35 eran los correspondientes a los mismos prototipos.
No. Y lo peor es que lo sabeis porque en su tiempo se presumio mucho de esto. La verdad, y esta publicada en cualquier articulo de aquel tiempo, es que los chicos de Lokheed dijeron que podian pasar la gran mayoria de la fase de prototipos por alto gracias a las nuevas tecnicas de diseño y fabricacion. Decian que al estar el diseño tan maduro sobre plano las modificaciones tendrian que ser minimas y podrian ser aplicadas sin problemas a las primeras fases de produccion, que se convertirian -tambien sin problemas- en aviones perfectamente de serie.
¿O no fue asi? Que la costumbrita que han pillado los JSF fanboys de olvidar todo de lo que presumian los primeros dias ya es casi risible.

Ready to strike.
Our F-35A Lightning II fleet can now be deployed on operations, with Initial Operational Capability being officially achieved today.
#AusAirForce
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has declared its multi-billion-dollar fleet of Joint Strike Fighters is ready for deployment, two years after the first F-35As were delivered from the United States.
So far, Australia has accepted 30 of the Lockheed Martin designed aircraft but will eventually acquire 72 Joint Strike Fighters from the US at a cost of $17 billion.
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has welcomed the IOC milestone, describing F-35A as critical to the Australian Defence Force.
"The fifth-generation F-35A, along with the F/A-18F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler, is key to our air combat capability and critical to achieving the objectives set out in the 2020 Defence Strategic Update to Shape, Deter and Respond," Ms Reynolds said.
"The Australian Defence Force now has an F-35A squadron ready to conduct technologically advanced strike and air combat roles, and another squadron dedicated to providing world-class training here in Australia."
que es cuando el desarrollo del avión (es decir la fase de prototipos y experimentación) se superpone al de la producción y adquisición.

The 123rd aircraft is an F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) variant, built at the Cameri, Italy, Final Assembly and Checkout (FACO) facility and delivered to the Italian Air Force. In 2020, 74 F-35s were delivered to the United States military, 31 to international partner nations and 18 to Foreign Military Sales customers.
In response to COVID-19 related supplier delays, in May the initial annual delivery goal was revised from 141 to 117-123 aircraft to strategically avoid surging, which would increase production-related costs and create future delays and disruption.

With more than 600 aircraft operating from 26 bases and ships around the globe, the F-35 plays a critical role in today's global security environment. More than 1,200 pilots and 10,000 maintainers are trained, and the F-35 fleet has surpassed more than 350,000 cumulative flight hours. Nine nations have F-35s operating from a base on their home soil, nine services have declared Initial Operational Capability and six services have employed F-35s in combat operations. The United States Air Force deployed the F-35 for 18 consecutive months from April 2019 until October 2020 in the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility with hundreds of weapons employments in support of U.S. servicemembers and their allies.
The year also included initial fielding of the Operational Data Integrated Network (ODIN), the follow-on to the Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS), with excellent initial results. The system will be fully operational in 2022. Mission capable rates for the aircraft continued to improve in 2020 with rates greater than 70% across the fleet, and even higher for deployed units. The F-35 also proved its value in Joint All-Domain Operations with multiple exercises that highlighted the aircraft’s ability to gather, interpret and share information with various platforms.
