Good and accurate summary.
Note that this “expert” author never flew a fighter.

And the F-16 is an adequate match for the F-15 in the air-to-air role, and also is superlative in the air-to-ground role, which the F-15 does not do.
Yes, the F-15 Strike Eagle is a bomber, but it is different than the C/D versions and less maneuverable with the extra weight.

Although as yet untested in combat and its capabilities still mostly classified, the F-22 is the most superior airplane ever built. Be glad its on our side, if in too few numbers.

A/A role the F-16 is ok but no F-15

I’ve beat many F16’s with my -229 powered F-15E.
