An F-35 would lose a one turn dogfight to an F-16. Against an F-15, it’d lose a one turn or two turn dogfight. But the F-35 should never be in a dogfight, because even though it isn’t quite as stealthy as the F-22, the best F-15 radar can only detect an F-35 within about 18 miles. The problem is that the F-35 can detect the F-15 at 100 miles and lob an AMRAAM from 60-80 miles.

But they don't have any good targeting data it seems, and the situation at regional air bases seems unpredictable (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5840253&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310074#49707340) |
