Welcome to those new Ukrainian Viper pilots. :)
A plane originally built in the 70's that's fly-by-wire and requires computer control since it's unlikely any human can fly the inherently unstable design. 1 engine so there's that SPoF.
As but another PC joystick jockey, I played Falcon A.T. (2.0), Falcon 3.0 Gold, and Falcon 4. If I had been 4" / 10 cm shorter, I probably would've been a USAF fighter pilot rather than a startup flunkie and "engineer".
F-35's intending to replace Vipers are a moneypit boondoggle. At some point, even with investment bias, that program will need to be killed because it's a POS.
