F16 best  jest US have  for  dog fighting means also  elusive  from  missiles to survive .

   For multi role  mission  jets  has to  turn  multi form  thas  means  this  must be  transformer  plane

 

  They  can improve her CAS capability reducing her stall speed.

  They  can  improve with telescopic expandabale retractable wings  and additional retaractable  splashboard  on the  fusulage  for aditional  airlift.Tail  can split  two  as  V tail  at ground  attack  mission

  More  air  lift  means higher  service  ceiling

 

 

The solution is staring us in the face --- buy new F-16s. Deliveries to the US military ended more than a decade ago, and production for export was supposed to have ended in 2013, but new orders have pushed the end of the F-16's production into 2017;

 

The USAF also has the option to buy the F-16E/F, which is already in service with Israel and the UAE, and South Korea recently ordered them as well;

 

 

After all, it's not like the F-35 will ever meet the USAF's needs. Remember when it was sold on Congress as the "Affordable Fighter"? The USAF used *those actual words* in describing it;

 

The USAF promised in 2000 that it would be in full operational service by 2004. By 2004, they said it would be 2008. By 2008, it was promised to be 2012. Today, in 2014, it STILL isn't operational, despite over 100 having been built (that's an awful lot of de-facto, retroactive prototypes). The year it becomes battle-ready is always 4 years into the future from whatever the date happens to be at the time.

 

The USAF needs new fighters yesterday (literally), and they need to buy fighters that exist and are affordable --- not $350 Million apiece pretend-fighters. Otherwise, the whole inventory will end up like those F-16Ds.
