Good read. I say we will not fund any more F-22s and fall way behind.

IMHO Putting us behind in capability is treasonous as one of the few responsibilities of the federal government is to protect its citizens. Dabbling in all this other crap at the cost of our safety is a major and deliberate cause...

The assumption being made is the Russian plane is stealty to our systems. Since stealth aircraft are not "invisible" - but only have a smaller radar signature, it's possible to upgrade the radar on older aircraft like the F-15, -16, and -18.
Besides, their aircraft is not slated for service until 2015. We'll have the F-35 entering service around the same time with over 2000 on order.

Obozo is firmly committed to the ruination of the US military and won’t fund anything!
