These should be replacing any of our current F-15s right now.
I’d love to replace 60 tired F-15As with these. Similarly, I’d love an extra 180 F-22s over the next 15 years. The problem is that the initial cost would be 6 billion for the Silent Eagles and 27 billion for the F-22s. That doesn’t count maintenance, spare parts etc or another 50%. Do you have an extra 50 Billion laying around? Don’t asnwer that. The Democrat Congress will spend it on windmills.
