Oh, sure we can - that's what the F-16 is. But that's not what we're building.
What we're building is a do-it-all platform, a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none, air superiority at 30,000 feet and mud slinger at 10 feet failure.
B2’s, F15, F16, F18 and A10. That alone is better than the rest of the worlds military fighter/bomber aircraft, combined.
More importantly, what we have over our adversaries is a better breed of pilot. If Americans flown MiG30’s, that might be the best plane in the world.
