    omg the f35 wasnt meant to built as a godfighter, its a flying computer, meant to help and give information to surrounding warships and other airplanes, and its more of a support for f22 and others like f15E and f18. its meant for stealth support for others and hit and run while hding from radars. when will people learn this fact?

      @@craig4867 the exercise was to test dogfight capabilities, which are F-16 speciality since the F-35 has been built with beyond visual combat and stealth in mind. Comparing them on that regard quite unfair, considering the other advantages of F-35s regarding networking and sensors
      Then again, good luck having a deep strike with F-16s over enemy air defenses.
      They are simply built with different philosophies in mind

      That's what puts the F22 at big disadvantage,and the f16 has soft ware to detect in coming from a long way which would make the F22 not effective. If take the F22s advantage away. The f16 wins every time.

    In defense of the F35, when used for ITS intended purpose, F35 shouldn't even be seen or detected.
    Stealth in, drop payload, stealth out. Target down with no clue what hit it.
    That's how the F35 was supposed to be used and should be used.
    Not saying F16 is bad but saying F35 losing against F16 in a dogfight, thats just putting the wrong engagement scenario for the wrong aircraft.

      The F-16 acutally has a large radar cross section for its size due to its air intake. F-35 should win all engagments just because it can see first and shoot first wtih missle. Unless they develop something to counter missles the F-35 wins.

  • @stuarthutt3740
    @stuarthutt3740 Рік тому +1

    Excellent! The G load of the F16 is reduced with external tanks further compromising its performance against the F35. Aerodynamics and engine technology peaked by the 1970s. To make an argument for new designs stealth was the only way. Adding to the F35 drawback was making it vtol capable, although it has no range after taking off vertically. In dogfighting the F 35 will lose every time against 4th Gen, yes it does have an advantage at a distance if it carries nothing externally. The stealth can be defeated by ground radar. F15 and 16 are more competent.

    Great video. I've always considered the F-16 the "Ferarri" of the skies. Just cheaper to operate. LOL! With a good pilot I think the F-16 can give any fighter jet a run for its money, and glad we're sending them to Ukraine. it is the right thing to do. Russia sucks!

  • @alancranford3398
    @alancranford3398 Рік тому +4

    Political factors (rules of engagement) can negate technological advances. When the rules of engagement mandate visual confirmation prior to air-to-air engagement, guided missiles may be unusable due to minimum missile ranges (the missile cannot hit the target when the target is too close to the launching aircraft due to targeting systems and required arming distances) and the need to match vectors long enough to ID the boogey. This puts an ancient MiG-17 on a level playing field with the F-35, and that's very sporting! Combat aircraft have different performance envelopes and some of the air-to-air combat exercises will artificially favor one aircraft type over another by the exercise rules.
    It's not that the F-16 is a bad airplane--or the F-35 for that matter--it's how those platforms are used. When playing the enemy's game by the enemy's rules, expect to lose. Giving a smart enemy the initiative means that the enemy gets to stack the deck in his favor.

    One of the biggest mistake the US have done is focus on a war that is nonsense like in Iraq and Afghanistan. They should focus on buying more latest versions of the Teen series like the F16 Viper, FA18 E/F Super Hornets and F15E Strike Eagle or the latest version. This is because Chinese just keeps on manufacturing more aircrafts. F35 is a rubbish aircraft. Its obvious that the latesy technology can noot always win. F35 is plagued with issue like its limitted supersonic flight due to structural defects. Also if US want to keep their dominance over the next millenia they should preemptive strike Iran, North Korea and Nuke China and Russia as it always did create conflicts. Americans create weapons and create artificial threat just like they want to kill as many russians now in Ukraine.

    to South Korea, Peru and the US are allies because a Peruvian ambassador named Rivera Schreiber warned the United States months before the Pearl Harbor attack, the Peruvian was honored in the US, the problem is that the Americans make restrictions there will be problems with spare parts components the same is going to happen with the South Korean fighters because there were problems with the KAI KT-1 from Peru, Peru used British military weapons in the armed conflict of Cenepa we used British Canberra fighter-bombers, in the years 1975 to 1978, the government Peruvian wanted to acquire an aircraft carrier from England when Peru could have declared war on Chile, the English government had no impediment and the British said that if they could sell the aircraft carrier to Peru, Peru had the British British fighter-bombers
    Canberra and the Hawk Hunters to attack Chile, It would be good to buy European fighters for the Peruvian Air Force

    The F-16 in this video had no problem finding the F-35 with all its stealth attributes, and the F-16 laden with fuel tanks and missiles, still beat the crap out of the F-35! As an Air Force fighter pilot, I personally can't stand the F-35! It's slow, carries very few weapons, been plagued with so many problems, that it's become an embarrassment! By the way, not only can the F-16 clean the clock of the F-35, so can the F-15 and F-18! So just imagine, what Chinese and Russian jet fighters can do against the F-35 and it's not as stealthy as they tell you! The Russians and Chinese have developed new radar systems that can detect stealth aircraft and even our own radars pick it up, including airport radars and radars are getting better and better all the time! Nothing is invincible, always remember that, there's always a counter measure!

I fly the F-15C and A-10 Thunderbolt 2! Why don't you focus on the brand new F-15EX that they're coming out with and it will be with us for approximately another 50 years! Mach 2.5+more powerful and deadlier than before! The F-35 is slow as we speak it does Mach 1.6 clean, meaning no weapons! That's pretty pathetic! By the way, I'm going to give you some advice, don't ever School a fighter pilot on something that he does for a living! They put a lot of money into me the Air Force, on training and schooling and continuous training! Do you get my drift!!! Obviously you're not a fighter pilot, so I'm going to be very kind to you, shut up and keep your mouth shut because you don't know what you're talking about, only what you hear and see on UA-cam and most of that is wrong!
