Basic physics. Wide jets are not maneuverable. There is going to be a lot of air resistance when the plain changes direction.

The F-35 was flying “clean,” with no weapons in its bomb bay or under its wings and fuselage. The F-16, by contrast, was hauling two bulky underwing drop tanks, putting the older jet at an aerodynamic disadvantage.
