When I was in tech school back in 80 I remember a poster of the F16 turning ratio compared to other aircraft. It was astounding. I still believe today you take a run of the mill F15/16 and put it against East block systems and they will still be far superior.
Then you get an F22 and throw everything into a tizz. We were better off building another 200 or so F22’s, sending a couple of dozen to Israel and South Korea and tensions would quickly deescalate.
