> By 2038, the service wants to have 1763 F-35 aircraft in service. However, this procurement schedule might not be financially feasible for the Air Force.
Ain’t gonna happen. It’s going to turn out like the numbers for the F-22.

84 F-15SAs destined for Saudi Arabia
Isis or the Iranians will end up with those if we don’t have a rescue plan for them.

That's why we need to keep the production lines open for the 15 and 16...even the FA18.
Otherwise we got nuthin'.

Rescue, or destroy on the ground.

F-15 and 16 are far better planes.

The Air Force should have pulled the plug on the POS F-35 years ago.

Is the F22 still bogged down by that Oxygen problem?

The upgraded radar and combat systems in these new F-15c's will have the ability for datalinks to control UAVs.
Pair a new F-15c, or F-35 for that matter, with 2-4 UAVs capable of Mach 2+ and 15G, and you have a winning combination.
But, certainly, UAVs will be the majority of air frames in the air by then.

Agree with you about the UAV’s and that this would be a very wise purchase by the Air Force.
The F-15 and F-16 are proven systems we already know.
To: glorgau
The F-22 is a good platform. Should have stuck with it.

I agree. I don’t know why we are putting money into a manned new generation bomber.

>>>Boeing previously offered a stealthy ââ¬ÅSilent Eagleââ¬Â version for South Koreaââ¬â¢s F-X III fighter competition, but that country last year settled on the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II for the requirement<<<
South Korea really screwed up with that decision.

Sure be nice to buy some hardware if we’re so intent of starting World War 3 with the Russians.

The F15 and F16 are outdated compared to the SU-37.
