Lo he hecho siempre, la diferencia es que tiene detras todo el apoyo del pentagono para superarlos, y nosotros tenemos gracias al magnifico F18 la oportunidad, de elegir este avión, de comprar un producto maduro a costes razonables.
En otro hilo comento precisamente los problemas asociados a 'participar' como mero observador en programas poco definidos y de alto riego tecnologico. No, tampoco habria sido buena idea meternos en el JSF hace 10 años.

The integration between 4th and 5th generation aircraft was one of the leitmotifs of the exercise: considered that for the next 10-15 years 70% of NATO aircraft will be “legacy” ones, it is necessary to learn how to work together. That’s why Red Flags (or TLP courses, in Europe), aim at improving integration between platforms. “It is only by integrating the capabilities of the fourth and fifth generation aircraft that results both platforms can achieve can be maximized”, said Maj. Emanuele A. one of the ItAF IPs flying with 62nd FS.
Noteworthy, the F-35A Lightning II of the 62nd FS played many different roles during RF 19-2: the stealth aircraft were tasked with escorting coalition aircraft and protecting them from ground-to-air SAM threats during SEAD missions; at the same time, together with other dedicated assets, such as the F-15Cs, they defended the coalition aircraft from “enemy” planes, providing air superiority for the friendly packages. Furthermore, the F-35 played the “Battle Manager” role, sharing tactical information to other aircraft during DCA (Defensive Counter Air) missions.
Usually operating in flights of four aircraft, the F-35s acted as “force enablers”, neutralizing several threats: on average about seven SAM systems and five Red Air assets were “killed” during each mission, according to the Italian Air Force. Moreover, the five aircraft deployed to Nellis AFB were able to launch 100 percent of the planned missions: two four-ship missions, each day.
“Being at the controls of an F-35, a fifth-generation aircraft, has always been a dream. I imagined that the machine had unique capabilities in combat and I had the confirmation from the first flight […] but participating in the Red Flag, one of the best exercises in the world, confirmed it to me beyond all expectations” Maj. Alessandro P. said.
“The results we have achieved in these two weeks are almost unbelievable: the statistics do not need comments”.
The F-35 was the most effective asset in neutralizing SAM systems and absolutely essential in the timely sharing of all the specific information needed for the success of the mission.
“We knew we had an operational advantage, due to the 5th generation technology, but we didn’t expect such a high “kill” ratio: in the 16 OCA missions (Offensive Counter Air) we flew, we neutralized more than 100 SAM systems and never lost a plane,” commented Maj. Emanuele A.
“I was impressed by the capabilities demonstrated by the F-35 in a complex and realistic environment such as the Red Flag where there are real professionals who simulate the Red Air” added Maj. Giuseppe A. at the end of the exercise. “During our missions we were among the first to enter the area of operations, far beyond the enemy lines, and the last to leave it, thanks to both the great persistence and the peculiar Low-Observability characteristics of our 5th generation aircraft. We were able to identify, transmit and neutralize ground and air threats very quickly, protecting the coalition’s assets in highly risky circumstances: the superior capabilities of the F-35 were often decisive. […] During the exercise, we achieved a high level of interoperability that allowed us, as a coalition, to tackle missions with a very high level of threat and complexity in which the F-35 was certainly essential to achieve its objectives. ”

Por posible, también es posible que me toque la primitiva, jejejeje. En serio, dudo que haya nada en estos momentos diferente al "interés" de los últimos años desde nuestro país, pero en USA saben bien que el avión gusta en nuestras FF.AA.s y nos colarán indirectas de estas de cuando en cuando, creo yo.Tercio norte escribió:https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-defense-f35/pentagon-eyes-f-35-sales-to-greece-romania-and-poland-u-s-official-idUKKCN1RG2O7
