New stealth fighter is dead meat in an air battle:

Maybe and maybe not. The F-35 may not dog fight well , but can it not get info from AWACS , get the enemy fighter on its own radar , and launch a air to air missile which destroys the enemy aircraft before it is within visual range.

Always better to defeat the enemy without being close enough to be fired at.
