the f-35 fits the current needs , and replaces more planes , more flexable, and cheaper.  you add those f-35's to the current f-22's and I dont think we will have a issue with China in the air...also its lack of a Carrier is a big issue for them ( though that is yes changing)


wars I think we will see, are basicly what we have now, Iraq Iran afganistan Korea, and situations like that. Maybe Tiwan, but even then I question how much the US realy wants to fight that one out over something with so little value to us to the cost of fighting for it. I dont forsee some big showdown with Putins Russia, or China. Maybe some new Kosavo in Europe...where do you see us in a fight where air to air combat is going to be a key role?


Also like I said, where would you get the funding to build the more planes? raise the budgets more, or cut cost...and what programs should go then?


also I would question if we can even just keep the lines going but not build them are a decent pace costing alot...if you keep the lines open to make them, but make very few...each one cost more and more to build.
