The Lightening Two Joint Strike Fighter 35 34th Fighter Squadron from the Hill Airforce in Utah, United States, have been fully operational since September, 2015.



The 34th Fighter Squadron based at the Hill AF base, with a three fighter units are expected to have a 78 strength JSF35 fleet, have been fully operational since Sept. 2015.

Presently, they are conducting 4 ship battle formation tactics, as initial combat training for their initial combat deployment.

My guess, more likely, they are expected to be deployed to the Middle East. Battle formations include stealth infiltration into hostile terrain with effective Electronic Warfare capability to undermine surface to air defense systems in which other non stealth fighter squadrons are unable to penetrate with effective EW capabilities.

The four ship formation combat wing formation is the standard battle formation (1) for the JSF35 combat formation in which I suppose ought to be emulated by the RAAF particularly here at the Amberley AF, right here, in Brisbane, within the next half decade.

Once established in Australia, the strike capability of the Australian military will be elevated to most effective military capabilty within the South East Asian region worthy even to repel any regional aggression from any superpower force.
