   @matrix He might be right.
   I know a couple of pilots who say everyone prefers the F-16 over the F-35.

     @coded_artist He probably is right about being able to take down "stealth" aircraft like that. "Stealth" here only means stealth to radar, not to a lot of other emissions. But, the point is that the F-35 would be engaging you so far out as to not be within range of any of your air defenses or other aircraft. Beyond visual range. So, good luck targeting it with a camera. And, even if you could target it with some kind of visual targeting system, it would have to be on a big enough missile with enough fuel to get to the F-35 and then also not fall to countermeasures. For sure, the F-35 does hella suck as a fighter aircraft. But, it's not really a fighter aircraft---it's a weapons platform. @matrix
