We (the US) has something the rest of the world cannot afford: true Stealth technology. Everything our military does now and the future will revolve around it. Sure the Su-27 has vectored thrust etc. and the Euro-fighter is very nimble. The F-22 and JSF are that PLUS they are invisible. Anyway-in 15 yrs you will still be flying the Euro-fighter and fighting with France about the name of the next Euro-program ;we will be flying unmanned, supersonic, stealth drones. Prototypes are already flying right now. Thank God we don’t have to work with the French!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
