That thing is awesome! It's amazing what they can still do for this jet. I hope hasbro takes notice as well and retools the skystriker! Sorry had to throw that in there as well

It's certainly excellent in its own right, but mainly because of the great fighter at it's heart. I'd call it a great option for countries who need to upgrade or renew their interceptor/air superiority fighters, but I have a feeling that Israel will only go for these if timing and/or funding keep them from getting the Raptor. We pretty well know they will be getting the Lightnings (it almost caused a big snafu back when word broke). Why buy a non-truly stealth interceptor if you can afford the real thing?
I could see all the others listed buying this model, and perhaps a few others down the line. I'm not sure the US would offer the Raptor to Saudi, even though they have plenty of money for it. Boeing may end up selling as many upgrade kits as jets though. I'm pretty certain the reason thrust vectoring wasn't added is the cost. I think Boeing wanted to keep it at $100 million rather than something like $110 million. |
