The F-16 isn’t comparable to the F-35. The 35 is meant to be a JSF which brought in the Navy’s demand for a twin engine fighter/attack aircraft. That’s the only reason that discussion ever comes into play.
The F-100 platform has an incredible history of reliability and the F-135 is larger based off of that platform. The Navy basically got a modern F-16 and they still complain.

You see what's happening in ukraine. The Russians blowing up tank repair facilities and ammunition storage warehouses. They could easily disrupt America's ability to maintain these fighters on the front line very, very easily
