Not the OP, but it would have been interesting to see how well a plane like the F-35 handles ground-to-air missiles. My bet would be on the missiles, but maybe that's just a subjective take on my part (certainly not based on any concrete facts as I'm not an expert in this domain), but I'm thinking that if the Serbs of the 1990s managed to bring down a F-117 then the Russian technology of today (in theory much better up-to-date compared to what the Serbs had) should be quite a match for this plane.
- LegitShady 5y agoIt depends what missiles. Israel handily destroys syrian pantsir systems with f-16s or loitering munitions, and turkish made drones 'damaged' two pantsir systems in the 2020 nagorno karabakh war. I don't think we've seen the results for longer range systems like the S-300 but I'm not sure russia wants to see the results either.
