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.
