    Not sure. These are the only type of its kind. It has capabilities other jets don’t have and they work together with other F35s and defense systems.

      NORAD worked with jets of other kinds, without the interplane networking, before the f35 existed.

      To say that they depend on some feature or ability of the f35 is disingenuous.
