All SDR Comms of US Forces are basically Link 16. and they can support multiple Video feeds. F 35 goes to the extent of having augumented reality feeds, video and other real time data juxtaposed, layered and dispaleyd in one continious dispaly. With helmet display system, it is isn in self has 360 Awareness of the battle field. Compared to that a Video capable SDR is like Inventing the television, while Others are on Microsoft Hololens.
The F-35's SDR doesn't support video feed while the Israeli one does. As for user interface, that's an entirely different thing.
That's also why LM is now contracting a company to enable live video feed as a future upgrade.
IAF successfully test-fired a ‘AWACS Killer’ a Russian A2A missile from its Sukhoi-30 MKI
RVV-BD missile weighs 500kg and features a 60kg warhead and usually during the endgame is capable of 8g maneuvering and can fly at Mach 6 speeds at a range of 300km Amiet R. Kashyap on Twitter

F35 is literally using space age comms and you are saying that SDR of CNI Suite of F35 that has commissioned capacity of High speed broadband connectivity doesnn't have video feed/visual comms. The only thing that the F35 lacks is an effing warp drive.
There are a lot of things on the F-35 which are previous generation compared to what's been released now.
For example, the IRST is outdated by today's standards. It's back on the upgrade list. Obviously the radar is now outdated with the stuff that's coming out. Even the cheapest of modern radars are GaN now. For example, the Italians have released a new GaN radar under the Grifo family.
And, as I pointed out before, the SDR of the F-35 lacks a live video feature, which is also part of the upgrade list. It lacks a rover capability.

They are yet to develop the capability. The Link 16 is incapable of handling this function.
Otoh, we have decided to use the Rafael BNET, which, unlike the F-35, is backward compatible with old radios and interfaces also. So not only live video feed, but full interconnectivity throughout our entire fleet. And while the F-35 development is still incomplete, our BNET order is already being implemented.

AFAIK, the Israelis will be using their own SDR in the F-35I, as part of their customised order.
Indian Air Force will be participating in its biggest joint air exercise of 2019, with the French Air Force (IAF) in France from 01-14 July 19. The IAF contingent will set course for the exercise tomorrow.
700 missiles for 300 aircraft, still leaves pylons for other missiles.
Hope we are able to mate with even better missiles.
French Air Force Rafale and Indian Air Force Su-30MKI jets fly in formation over French countryside.
This picture tells the true story. Su-30MKI are flying clean while Rafale are flying with two D/Ts each. Long back I had written about how people have mislead Indians regarding the Range and weapons load capability of Rafale w.r.t SU-30MKI.
