Pierre Sprey in that video calls the F-35 a lemon, also massively overstates his involvement with the Light Weight Fighter program that led to the F-16 & F/A-18

Pierre Sprey in that video calls the F-35 a lemon, also massively overstates his involvement with the Light Weight Fighter program that led to the F-16 & F/A-18. He didn't design anything, especially not the F-16. More importantly, the F-16 wouldn't have been nearly as successful as a short range interceptor, as opposed to a multirole strike fighter with medium range missiles. I just thought that some good news about the F-35 would be interesting to HN
