Good News. If Americans with F-117 and B-2 under their belt have serious issues with F-22 and F-35, others won't find it a cakewalk. When a deal goes bad, end it before it becomes a money pit. Before doldrums becomes disaster. Either opt for F-35 which will be more cost effective because it is adopted by so many countries. Or stay out of the 5th Gen game altogether. Without solid foreign partnership (unlikely) forget about AMCA for half a century. Fanboys could have illusions of Russians being some benevolent beings, happy to share cutting-edge technologies. All they have shared so far are vintage Soviet techs which are outdated.
The strength of IAF will continue to nosedive in this decade due to pathetic planning. And takes over 10 years to select an MMRCA plane and even the contract is not signed yet. Wow. I would like to see some heads rolling please.
