Should be zero risk, considering these are currently being built for export.

The Forbes article states that the USAF's Top Dog doesn't want to buy any more F16s; it's too difficult to upgrade their software. The last time the USAF bought an F16 was 2001. So, e wants a new fighter, designed from the ground up. Unfortunately, that's the approach they took 20 years ago with the F35 and here they are.
