Declare all you want. When a 40 year old plane beats the latest jet they outta go back to the drawing boards.
I beg to differ. The F-35’s mission is to come in high and fast, use stealth to avoid detection, and hit the enemy with a missile, and kill him before he’s even aware that he’s in an engagement. If he’s slowing down, turning corners, and getting into a turning dogfight with an F-16, he’s screwing up. In the military, you go for the rout, you don’t fight fair. Vietnam is the classic example of what happens when you negotiate away all of your advantages and fight fair (the way your enemy and the U.N. expects you to fight). So is the 2nd half of the Iraq war.
