The F-35 has been operating over Syria for years against those supposedly infallible Russian AA defenses. So far the only thing that's been able to hit them is a bird.
The f35 has stealth tech specifically designed to go against Russian AA, and the Syrians had antiquated systems.
The f16 does not, and the Russians have lots of the latest generation AA because they're the ones who make it.
The F16 will be vulnerable but not completely useless, as implied by the other post.
Yes, I agree, it will be very briefly useful.
Tankies are gonna tankie.
