    Don’t even have to use F-35s directly.

    • do some shell games with various NATO F-16s by painting Ukrainian roundels on them as “tribute livery” and swapping them between various Eastern European NATO airfields and some western Ukrainian airfields
    • fly sorties from western Ukrainian airfields to plink targets of opportunity
    • use F-35s and B-21s as deniable + low-observability surveillance and ELINT platforms, backed up by AWACS and JSTARS and globalhawks (and whatever else we have these days)
