    I was a little surprised they seem to have skipped out on the thrust vectoring, but its either 1 ) too much for the design or 2 ) fuck those foreigners buying 'em, they cant have that level of goods

    Ya, 4th gen fighter, roughly the same age as the F-15E

    Canada is considering buying them... poor choice IMO, they're already 30+ years old, kind of a niche design (less than 200 in operation). Hope we go for F-35's instead.

    See, we'd be buying them late, just as production costs come down and reliability is increasing

    its why you dont buy an inaugural model year vehicle but it should be common knowledge that politics was the reason the f22 is not the flagship standard for the USA
