Well if he wants to complain about the F-35, and how much “better” his plane is at dogfighting, then let him pair his plane up against an f-22. Heck, let him put up a 1/2 dozen Grippens against 1 f-22.

Ya know... If ya got AMRAAMs, and stealth, dogfighting is usually a waste of time. And, of course, the latest Sidewinders are pretty scary, too.
