Yeah, the article's predictions were pretty heavy-handed and curiously specific.
The article hinted that Japan might be eager to share development of the F-22... perhaps if the production lines were restarted, Mitsubishi could do the assembly of surplus F-22 parts with less cost.
Though, I'm not sure we'll have time to make any F-22s before Japan really needs them in the air.
- sintaxi 9y agoGood point. For sure Japan wants in on the development. Jobs is how politicians justify the insane price tag to tax payers. If Japan lowers the cost of F22 to below the F35 that would be a huge blow to the JSF.
- newnewpdro 9y agoIsn't the F-35 already more costly than the F-22 without Japan's involvement?
