Mate You're a strange fellow, you compare a fighter developed in 1950's with a fighter of 2010's.. F-105 had avery dismal record in Vietnam war, the F-35 has not been tested in battle yet.The name of the game today is Avionics and no longer Aerodynamics. If someone detects you before you detect him, the game is pretty much over. Supersonic agility and maneuverability is useless if you don't know you're being shot at.F-35 will be able to carry the Meteor, AIM-120and if they survive and come close they have AIM-9X's to deal with.
