I'm in the bag for the damn F-16. It should have never been abandoned, they should have just built hundreds and hundreds of the things with robot brains.
More seriously, they do have F-16s with robot brains. They're called Predators and they're terrifying, particularly when employed inside a defensive perimeter.
But they're not great at power projection. F-22s/35s are built for extended range.
