There isn't a drone flying that could down an F-35, unless it got lucky and the F-35 flew into it. Today's drones are a long ways from being able to conduct air to air missions.

We have had drones that do exactly this for a long time. They're called SAM's.

SAM's are static, and much bigger in size. Totally different application.
