Yes and carries out its maneuvers at a higher speed.

As much as i love the F-16 the times of dog fights are over in the age of EW/Night missions and BVR capabilities.
Thus F-35 was born.

F16 probaly got its *** handed to it.

Nothing can go close to f35

Maneuverability/agility wise F-16 is far better then F-35 but in term of electronics F-35 way way ahead in any fighter jets in USAF

But as we say to Flankers, What will disco moves do when you have AMRAAMs on you and you can't see your enemy.

Nothing, and Flankers has EW suite to know BVR coming, bro i am just comparing agility of both jets in the video, and i know agility is useless against SRAAM and BVRAAM because these AAMs (BVRAAM/SRAAM) are far more agile then world most advanced jets

True but with spread of stealth technology, many A2A fights will end up in WVR scenario as both wont be able to detect each other at longer ranges. It will again come down to dog fighting abilities.

Stealth is/will be transitional technology as per various major air forces, the next major technological strategies will be hypersonic fighter jets/bombers

you might want to check out videos where F 35 is matching F22 in maneuvers with thrust vectoring which are impossible for F 16
