The underlying problem seems to be that they tried to satisfy too many requirements, and are now ending up with a mediocre product that does nothing well. At this point I would seriously be considering reducing the requirements. Tell the Marines to go find another plane. Maybe the Navy too. Focus on the big customer, the Air Force. Do whatever it takes to make it work for them. (Although I kind of suspect the Air Force would rather have the F-22.)
The Navy would probably go with the Advanced Super Hornet. God knows what the Marines would do.

We meet again. I have to admire your resilience. Sometimes I wonder what we could achieve if we were on the same side.
- coldcode 10y agoMaybe the Marines should take the A-10 from the Air Force since they don't give a rat's ass about infantry support.
