I'd be interested if there's any weapon's systems engineers on here and what their thoughts are on their own morals when their creations are being used by people with even less morals.

Valid question that shouldn't be downvoted, IMO. One answer is that as long as there are worse people doing worse things, it's not immoral to build and use whatever tools are needed to stop them.

Note the last few minutes in this very video, for instance.

> worse people doing worse things

Do not judge lest you be judged. (Matthew 7:1)

Even better, don't put yourself in a position where people are likely to judge your actions negatively.

For the most part, countries that don't invade their neighbors or commit atrocities have little to fear from the F-16.

F-16 fly-by-wire system has a limiter

Don't most fly-by-wire systems have such a limiter? (unless they have a specific mode where it's disabled, like the a320's alternate-law/direct-law systems)

No idea if there's toggle or breakable wire somewhere to let you exceed these design limits on this plane though.

Wasn’t the F-35 the most complicated build?

Yes. Brian also made a video about that plane (F-35B) earlier. They all have the title format "The Insane Engineering of.." Personally, I'm a big fan of the A-10 warthog video, and how it laid out the plane's main design goal: "how cheaply can we get a GAU-8 doing strafing runs over this 20km section of german airspace, where russian tanks may show up one day?"

The f-16 is more topical now, since it's more common, and is about to be deployed as a "cheap" plane to fight against russian planes. Like it was designed for in the first place.

Praise be to Viper engineers, drivers, mechanics, and mere admirers limited to the likes of Spectrum Holobyte and Thrustmaster.

Shame on to the F-35 "low" "replacement", my left foot, with an outsourced DoD and hydra-like MIC.

F-16 can be forced to stall, called a "deep stall". It's exited by toggling a certain AoA mode.

You can force anything to stall. Its easy (assuming something isn't actively preventing you)
