If an F35 is ever in an actual dogfight it has failed already- it should kill an opponent before the opponent is ever aware of its presence.

The Fighting Falcon's really excel at that. By purchasing the F35 Norway is forced to take a more aggressive and preemptive stance. That might not be in Norway's best interest given it small size and comparably small, though technologically advanced, army.
