That's what the F22 is for, no?

• UnoriginalGuy 10y ago
  The F-22 is, even now, still projected to cost more per aircraft than the F-35. Plus the F-22 cannot be sold internationally for reasons that aren't entirely clear (something about secret technology), whereas the F-35 can.

    Isn't it entirely based around the stealth functions of the F-22, and more specifically, their unique application of such? I am pretty sure they fear reverse engineering of the metallic skin; hence why the Senate has pushed for an exportable version.

    It's barely more expensive, and it's a way better plane. If we are going to settle for less than the F-22, then we should just buy the stealth-upgraded F-15. It's cheaper than the F-35. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_F-15SE_Silent_Eagle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_F-15SE_Silent_Eagle
