Losing a vital plane now when you are at war then it doesn’t really matter if it might get replaced sometime far in the future

You don’t have to be a tankie or a wankie to recognize the fact that a loss ratio of 0% is very good for an aircraft.

If it was a Russian or Chinese aircraft doing this then that would also be a fact.

It’s stupid to say that a single aircraft being damaged makes the entire type worthless like many here are saying when the F-35 is the only aircraft flying these missions and come back with only damage to a single plane.

That is not a political statement or approval of the strikes. That’s just a statement on the plane.

For the all the probably hundreds of sorties flown with a result of zero losses and only a single aircraft being damaged they might aswell be invisible.
