If not the F-35 then what?!


A real simple question.

If not the F-35 then what?

The Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen, Super Hornet?  Against Russian and Chinese stealth fighters?  Against sophisticated air defenses?

I keep hearing that the F-35 should be killed but no one ever has a real answer for what would replace it if it is.  If you can body slam the F-35's performance then the same can be done to every fighter listed above.  And they don't come with stealth or sensor fusion.

So tell me oh wise one.  What do we buy if F-35's aren't good enough?
