birds are a thing. you're wrong. straight up wrong. the risk of one engine is worth the force projection capability with the f35 for vtol on lha's and it's worth it for cheapness with the f16. for air superiority fighters and patrol you want two engines and that's data not pilots fee fees. the fa/xx will be the bulk of the naval air wings and the entirety of ground based air force in a decade. wouldn't be surprised to see surplus f35s offloaded on the allies.
