Oh? What can't the F-35 do that the F-16 and F/A-18, which it is designed to replace, can?
It might not be worth the development cost and time, but the aircraft itself doesn't seem like a step backwards to me...
EDIT: Ah, should read the opening post. Didn't know the F-35 was supposed to replace the A-10 as well...
