    From what I’ve seen, the F-35 defeats enemy F-16s because of its advanced sensors. Mostly it’s firing missiles at things beyond visual range. Plus it has stealth capabilities that avoid detection and retaliation.

    It’s worth the cost because you lose fewer experienced pilots, which are the real bottleneck for an air force.
