more F22's and F-35s will start seeing combat even in "low intensity" wars

They both are worthless as "fighter bombers." The AF ROE for them is "not below 10K." They are too costly to risk on the deck. The problem with using them at altitude is that they have no loiter time. Gotta refull every hour.

The Marine F-35 is really worthless. The VTO ability shortens it already short legs.
