its not, and the smart people in the country should realize that. there are people here who think risking 4B on a project or spending 5B on transport aircraft isn't a big deal. it is.
I guess the bolded part is for me. For your information I'm totally against the purchase of C-17s cause it's a total waste of money.
And about the 4B on PAK-FA.. You are yet to explain how joining F-35 would serve us better than PAK-FA. Now if we were forming a JV with Russia for producing a 5th gen MRCA and spending billions on that, then your argument might have been a valid one. Even though US weapons comes with strings attacked you could at least say that what you are saying is logically correct.
PAK-FA and F-35 belong to different class.
F-35 can carry like 2 bvraams compared to PAK-FA's 6. There is really no competition in the A to A department.
