- mc32 5y agoThey are but built by govt committees and these projects have to provide pork to all senators before there’s a green light. So it’s not, “build us a fighter to take down MiG-35 or whatever. It’s we want it to work for NATO, the marines, navy and Air Force, and provide air cover and drop bombs and air superiority and... so they get a Frankenstein plane that does nothing exceptionally well.
