How dose that work in peer situation. When f35 and russian plane had their peepee swingging contest some time ago. Pilot remarkabed over electronic warfare and how it was major issue during that confrontation. F35 is another plane thats all computer. Including helmet.

"electronic warfare" basically means "drowning bandwidths used by radar and radio comms". It doesn't mean "make computer not work"
However, at some point in the future it may be the case that EW + Stealth are good enough that radar guided munitions can't reliably hit jets, and they'll need to close to visual distances to target each other and dogfight again

Actually make computer not work is what happened. Pilot talked how he had to restart stuff several time to clear issues. He didnt lose control or lose flight capabilities. But there was issue with other stuff.
But if i rember correctly it was wasnt US f35 but flown by some European. No idea if its export versio issue.
