F14ski.
Not that it matters; the Russians haven’t had an original idea since the T34 tank.
Fine fighters I am sure, but I do not believe they will be near as stealthy, either radar wise or heat wise as the Raptor or JSF. And that is a huge handi-cap.
In addition, we are going to build a LOT of F-35s.
We need a President and Congress who will double and triple the number of F-22s. We only built 187 of them and then stopped. We need 400 or more.
A true 5th generation fighter is not cheap and current numbers will not reflect the real costs.
The Indians have been snookered.
Good idea gluing a spare one to the left wing tip.
The Chinese have launched their first aircraft carrier with plans for more futuristic ones on line. The Russians and Indians are building new 5th generation fighters. Meanwhile, we’ve got the “hole in the wall” gang of 12 looking to cut our military spending, shutting down research and building our latest. You can bet not a cent saved by gutting the military will go to the Treasury. We never learn from history.
Stalin’s plan in the 20’s and 30’s was to militarise the Soviet Union by buying or stealing or being given by traitors, the best plans for all types of military equipment. The Red Army was the largest and best equipped in 1939. Ref Viktor Suvorov ex Colonel GRU.
