That looks strangely familiar? I can’t put my finger on just what it looks like. Can you?
$7.6 billion development cost. Dirt cheap compared to the aged US cousin. At $75 million a copy it is competitive with the F-35 and F-15EX.
I wonder how much lockheed makes in the deal?
The F-35 is probably the most widely stolen airplane design as parts are made everywhere and the plane is sold to just about anyone.
Korea will also be buying F-35As. These are (at current) intended to replace badly aging F-5s. The KF-21 is supposed to have an operational per-flight-hour cost of less than half the F-35A, too.
