I'm not sure yet.

I have read some articles (can't remember where) that said in some war-games, the Indian AF held their own against the U.S. and one with China where the results showed that the only aircraft that could both range and evade the Air Defenses was the B-2.

I agree with you in that with the type of combat we are seeing today, and in the foreseeable future (10 years or so), the current aircraft are preforming well, even to the point of no one being able to match us.

Acquisition programs run well beyond 10 years, however, especially for high-tech aircraft.

Just my 2-cents.

My point is that the money can be better spent on other system that will provide the same result as the f-22 and cost less.
