“Israel, Japan and South Korea are populated by some of the smartest and Toughest people on earth. they did their homework and purchased what they know is a first class plane”
IIRC, all three countries wanted to buy the F-22 but we wouldn’t lift the export ban.
From everything I have read or heard the F-22 is a magnificent fighter.
There are 3 squadrons of them at Tyndall which is near here but I never see them flying. I guess they fly mostly over the Gulf.
