That article does not explicitly mention the model of F-35, but I suppose it is F-35B (STOVL), because that one is presented in photo inside that article. The "B" has lots of weak points (like reduced G tolerance, bad rearward view, reduced fuel capacity) just because of that huge fan behind the pilot. Other models: conventional A and catapult launched C do not have these problems or at least not at such great extent.
