That story has been pushed all week on many sites. Usually these stories are pushed by Boeing employees. I’d take a F-35 over a F-16 in any fight. The first sign a F-16 would have that a F-35 is around is when his aircraft explodes. If you look at the price of the F-15X, the F-35A is cheaper. The US is not going to build a stealth jet cheaply, even their non-stealth jets are getting up there in price as they add better electronics integration and sensors. If you follow the Red Flag war games you’ll see how superior the F-35 is in combat. I have faith in them working the bugs out.
