If you can't deal with 1:49,999 odds of death, then you shouldn't be a fighter pilot.

Have any F35 shills shilled anything about the magical thing being able to operate when in range of Russian ECM and jamming? Because I believe the idea is, the magic35 flies in and disables all this sort of stuff including AA and flies out. Then again in real life, even US generals are ready to qualify Russian electronic warfare capabilities "eye-watering".

Oh look its dangerous to eject when you are below a certain size in any aircraft, but its only an issue with the F-35 because the anti crowd is absolutely fucking desperate for something that will stick.

No wonder no-one's even shilling againts Russia moving ECM to Syria. They went and established their own no-fly zone and did it quietly and efficiently. If amerishoot dipshits knew you could establish no-fly zones with a couple trucks and helo-mounted jammers, burgers might begin to question the use of 25 quadrillion dollar toys.

What you should take from that is that the US is able to determine exactly what those methods are, meaning that the US already has equal or greater counter-measures.

So you cancel the F-35. Then what?

You still need new aircraft to replace aging airframes which means either buying legacy systems, buy foreign or starting a new program and all the costs and risks that entails. No matter what you choice US arms sales are going to take a MASSIVE hit in the future as everyone will remember the cancellation and seek out more reliable partners in the future.

Buying foreign fighters is out of the question politically so that is not going to happen which leaves buying upgraded 4th gen, a stop gap measure at best due to the number of foreign 4.5 gen already out there and the upcoming 5th gen Russian and Chinese designs. Thus you are left with starting a program, with the same objectives as the F-35 and the same risks and challenges. Don't see the point really.

Ejections are dangerous no matter your size, and I'm sure that this would be a problem in other seats too. Out of all the things that could kill you when you need to eject, this is probably fairly low on the list.
