The MKI “is an amazing jet that has a lot of maneuverability,” an essential trait when fighters fly within visual range of their enemy during combat missions, Captain Mentch said.

Which I believe is the reason we have advanced our standoff capability to such a high degree. Of course, I'm just an old ground pounder so I'll leave it to the go fast guys to debate.
