Likely 8-12 Bees.

So is China going to be their first theater?

I think it'd be safe to assume 12-16, it'd be good practice for the maintenance crews to try and keep as much 35s combat ready as possible. Being this is the first over seas deployment and all, it has to carry weight

Is the F35 going to be the next Ace Combat cover plane because of this?
>>
>>32612386
nope despite scamco choosing fucking plain and grey aircraft camouflages their cover is going to be a Macross aircraft or something along the lines of a Plain-22 or a Su-30

Wow, same numers are J-20s in service by the end of 2016.
>Service[edit]
>At least six J-20s are in active service, with four tail numbers 78271,78272,78273 and 78274 identified. And another six are ready to be delivered by end of Dec 2016. [34]

I doubt they'd intercept them with Luneberg Lenses equipped.

>>32612323
I posted this same story yesterday. See: >>32604665

>>32615369
The A nearly matches a clean F-16 in those areas, too. And F-16s never fly clean these days.

>>32615393
I dont think it is so clever to do non-combat patrols withouth luneberg lenses. I know that they probably did with interceptions against Iranian birds... But China is another story.
Your stealth will get compromised quickly.
