1. Re-read what I wrote about the F-35 not meant to be an air superiority fighter.

2. Look at the date of the article you posted. That was written when the F-35 flight control software was still being developed, and the F-35 was limited to 3G turns. Today it can pull sustained 9G turns, limited only by what the pilot can sustain.

3. Read this article; https://www.businessinsider.com/f-35-once-beaten-by-f-16s-shows-stunt-turns-older-jets-cant-touch-2019-1
