Wonder how much was that due to lack of parts, pilots and fuel budget?
I would say this is a very positive report on the F35s first "combat" deployment.

The F35I specifically "The F-35I, an Israeli-specific variant of the F-35 Lightning II, has been customized with Israeli avionics, software, and systems, enabling the Israeli Air Force to carry out missions with exceptional precision and efficiency."I would say this is a very positive report on the F35s first "combat" deployment.

How much more capable is it? As far as I know the only customer allowed to modify the base F35A and the U.S. government pays for it all with military aid. We need them to help us with our procurement programs.

Ironically, there was another post saying that AN-2 biplanes were being used to shoot down UAS.
We’re at the point where a Sopwith Camel (slow, low radar cross section) might actually do not too bad.

Turboprop, so too fast.
I’m not kidding - the AN-2 might have trouble catching a Cessna 172.

More like Fairey Swordfish
good choice; with two guns and the underwing rockets it would provide a formidable defense and training on them would be a lot shorter

‘Spad’ for the win!I’m more impartial to the Hawker Typhoon and A-1 Skyraider…
(Heck, it wouldn’t even need the gums or rockets…it could just smash into the drones, warheads and all….)

Probably. Spad drivers were different.
