That's not really true. Have you considered stealth vs stealth engagements and BVR kinematics? As an aside missiles have always been evaded through kinematics.

As an aside missiles have always been evaded through kinematics. The F-35 doesn't have great kinematics. Those include the ability to maneuver, to do so while maintaining kinetic energy, and the ability to accelerate as well as maintain high altitudes and high velocities. None of which the F-35 is especially great at.

In a BVR fight range is the main goal, there is no reason for a stealth jet to close within 15 miles as they would lose stealth. Even in a seemingly missmatched dogfight between an f-16 and f-22… it’s still plausible for the f-16 to win (sometimes). If we need a dogfighter, then we should build a drone for the task.
