SAMs may be fine for shooting down airliners, but they're not very effective against fighters. You realize the US lost only one F-16 in the 2003 attack on Iraq

SAMs may be fine for shooting down airliners, but they're not very effective against fighters. You realize the US lost only one F-16 in the 2003 attack on Iraq, and that was to "fuel starvation"?
And no, the rear of the F-35 isn't much less stealth than the front. You're probably thinking of IR.
