So basically the US air force stops using its new 5th generation fighter thats already in service, and goes back to the F-16 and F-15 for another 30+ years?
Your kidding, right?
I am not joking. It is a waste of valuable funding that should go elsewhere to more promising programs or current needs.
I don’t know a single AF pilot who believes men will be in planes during the next fight. UAV are the future platform.
Remember the military is a government bureaucracy as well.
Our nation’s defense doesn’t need a military-industrial complex feeding off the tax-payer trough.
Obama has said that maintaining the F-22 is “Too Expensive”...
