They don’t make F-22s (of which there are only about 185 existing) was the point - the tooling may or may not be mothballed. If they were to restart the line from mothballed tools and allow export, the first batches would go to Australia and Israel. None, none would ever be sold to the Paks.

The F-22 by law is prohibited from ever being exported. In the authorizing budget language was inserted that prohibited the jet from being exported. And changes to the technology would be cost prohibitive. . .over a Billion dollars.
