From what I've been reading, that 10 yr old plane - the F-22 - is the most advanced fighter in the world and it's successor, the F-35, isn't considered as desirable by other nations trying to get their hands on the F-22. I don't know much about this subject but it seems to me that the Russians churning out hundreds of aircraft comparable to the F-22 while we stop making it is not a good thing.

They won’t. They have no money for it. And will have even less: now that the world is moving away from oil, both Arabs and Russians will be totally bankrupt in a couple of decades if not sooner.
