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.

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.
