It Turns Out the F-35 Can Dogfight (defensenews.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Writing for Defense News, Lara Seligman reports, "For the first time since a controversial report detailing how the F-35 performs in a dogfight emerged last summer, an F-35 pilot gave an in-depth analysis of his experience flying the jet in a close-range battle scenario. Norwegian Air Force Maj. Morten 'Dolby' Hanche, the first Norwegian to fly the F-35, analyzed the jet's performance in a dogfight in a March 1 blog post published on Norway's Ministry of Defense website. Although Hanche never mentions the 2015 report, 'F-35A High Angle of Attack Operational Maneuvers' revealed last summer by blogger David Axe on WarisBoring.com, he counters many of the anonymous author's claims."

You in an F-XX (how does it even matter), they in a Mig-31 and of course 100KM away an S-400 on standby watching it all, I think you ought to eject
before your aircraft falls out of the sky. Should you make it to the ground alive, they also have the biggest dogs, the Ovtcharka: http://i.imgur.com/MGubg.jpg . These dogs are used in the military, the prison system and also for hunting wolves and bears. They'll come looking for your ass with dogs like that. Run motherfucker, run :-)
