Good things to expect from the F-35 Lighting II Joint Strike Fighter

As I said, virtually all of the real stuff is classified to keep our enemies guessing.

Yeah, but there are some things about the Raptor that makes us come to the conclusion that in overall he will be better choice than F-35.
Theres also another thing, i don´t take my informations from media, i take them from experts on the matter and from books when ever i can.
You must be familiar with Australia Air Power review, a website run by Dr. Carlo Kopp, read his opinions on the F-22 Vs. F-35 matter and i´m quiet sure that using your common sense together with the informations there you´ll come to the conclusion i came long ago.

Yep, a good answer Suck. Who knows anyway? We will just have to wait and see how it all turns out.
But even if the F-35 is an equal it will do the job for Oz.
I've said this before but the 1940s are gone when the best fighter shot down the most planes in massive aerial dogfights where the winner would ultimately win the war.
What makes the best fighter of today's era? It won't be needed for aerial dogfighting. What is it for?
The fastest and most manoeuvrable isn't the best any more.
It is the on board packages that will rule the skies. Growler technology, weaponry and other electronic and avionic wizardry can now make a lesser aircraft the best.

Dead right Aviator.
And guess who has the best pack of everything (maneuverability, stealth, weapons and electronics) ;) ;).
