btw, the fighter at issue is F-16, not the older and heavier F-15.

F-16 is more of a dogfight type of plane. And both of them have undergone several technological upgrades to where they're not quite as old as the original 1970s vintage would make them sound.

yea, I typoed my original reply...should've read "F15 and F16 families"

Washington Post article gives a proper analysis of the situation:

this rather eloquently sumarizes and connects a few dots that were rattling around in the back of my head.
