Those next-gen fighters put up a good-enough fight. I guess in a BVR scenario, whoever fired first has the best shot of survival? I forget - some old adage like that. Felt it for the F18 that got splashed. And the thing that makes me chuckle is I'm old enough to remember when F16s were pretty high up on the fighter jet tech chain.
The entire motto for the development of the Raptor was First Look, First Shot, First Kill. Whoever can send it first in good parameters will have a distinct advantage. I feel for the Hornet too because I did some 1v1 training trying to develop counter 5th gen tactics and the result is: You don't. In fact my next video I'll be showcasing that exactly.
