As a matter of fact, they did.
We made the Rafale because they refused out techs for the Eurofighter. They do refused, on purpose to remove the best technologies from their plane, and to get a smaller market.
Why is beyond me, but once you have fought wars with them, you learn that they have strange ways.

The French Rafale is based.
Too bad we're allied with America so we have to finance and buy their dodgy jet that can take off vertically (what you're looking for is a helicopter) but can't do much else.

>>61172770
Our government did decide not to, yeah, and I think that was a mistake. Can you seriously not envision a better fighter than the overcomplicated, overdesigned, overbudget Lightning II? Especially the VTOL/STOL versions, they're fucking bastardised hybrids with an engine that's too heavy for the airframe, and an airframe with aerodynamics designed for a totally different engine.
Face it m8, it's a boondoggle that's only going ahead because of the sunk costs that every party involved has pissed away on the thing.

>Can you seriously not envision a better fighter than the overcomplicated, overdesigned, overbudget Lightning II?
Let's disect this one at a time:
>overcomplicated
Do you think this is the 1950s or something? ALL jet fighters are complicated. Pick a fighter jet that you consider simple and then look into the actual mechanics and systems of it: it's never going to be simple.
>overdesigned
It better be overdesigned. It has to stay relevant for the next 30-40 years.
>overbudget
Every ambitious project like this goes "overbudget", it's the price of innovation.
>Can you seriously not envision a better fighter
Of course I can. The Pentagon has already begun working with the industry on conceptual development for a 6th gen fighter. Possible features include fully autonomous functioning and laser defense systems. But that won't be here for at least 15 years.
>you can only post in this thread if your country's only widely used long-range bomber is an obsolete piece of shit that was designed in 1948, is the size of a small city on radar and they don't make spare parts for any more

Of all the objections to the F-35, this has always struck me as the weirdest. All of the aircraft that the F-35 is intended to replace were ALSO multiroles. If all those countries actually wanted a dedicated air superiority fighter, they would have bought F-15s rather than F-16s.

>>61178646
>Well they don't need to fly it until they do.
Actually they are extremely reluctant to fly it, because of how expensive it is to maintain.
>>61177124
what
In b4 turks
This is the one and only Fighter. Tiger edition.
When I went from the F-16, these felt like bicycles. But the F-5 is a fucking living machine. You can fly it in an entirely different way. In supersonic speed you need to use a lot more stick movements to fluctuate, and the wind sound at low altitude is absolutely hellish. Besides, you can slip backwards in the air during flight acrobatics, something management systems in the F-16 prevents. Real flight skills are required because you have no systems that prevents you to pluck the wings of the hull or choke engines if you're too reckless.
>>61176967
I think they rejected it because it was way too expensive (baguettes industries can't compete on price due to their high costs because of constant striking and coffee breaks).
>>61177784
Damn son, you're going to need better if you want to keep the Russians out.

By the time you hear them, it is too late. That's how the speed of sound works. Try hearing them after takeoff too. You can't even here commercial jets at 30,000 feet and they are much lower than a stealth bomber. Which is meant to be stealth as in no radar detection. God you niggers are dumb.
>>61179972

>>61181929
It also keeps the aircraft stable during VTOL transition.
>>61181279
Its role was to be air to ground and air to air combat capable. It's goal was to be from one side of Canada to other, armed, fueled and fighting in 15 minutes.
It used technology that is revolutionary to this day.

This chart is actually full of legitimate argument.
Placing modern electronic, radar, reactors on a already existent platform would make it perform well while staying at a moderate cost. This extra money mean more money for something else, like a gen 6 drone in 20 years.
It do have no guns. While we can discuss it's relevance in modern fights, you can't call that an omnirole.
There is no correct price.
The payload does not hold comparison with the Rafale, or with two Gripen who have the same price than a F35.
There is a reason the truck is painted white on this image.
Stealth by the design of the plane is seriously more expensive than active compensation of the plane reverberation, and give the same result.
The F22 IS better for air to air fights, there is no debate possible. However, the F22 suck dicks at bombing things. They are made to complete each other, not to compete.
With or without external tank, the range is the price to pay for the thrust/weight ratio.
I will stop here, but you get my point.
What're all these non-american faggots doing here? Y''all don't make f-15 eagles.
Inb4 idiots try to argue with the fighter that has more combat kills than any other - a proven track record.

>Only widely used.
No The USAF uses the shit out of the B-2, you just never here about it or see them because they are damned hard to track and near invisible when dropping bombs. THey used to fly non stop from Holloman in the US to Afghanistan to remove kebab, so their actual strike missions were indistinguishable from training flights. the bomber we have but almost never use is the lancer because it's mission (Low level Supersonic Penetration)was to fuck up heavily defend airspace, which we haven't done since the gulf war. Lancer's are terribly inefficient in terms of operating cost vs kebab removed, so they just chill while the bomb delivery vans like the 52 do the heavy lifting. If we ever end up fighting Iran or North Korea you'll see Lancer's doing Lancer thing again.
>Piece of shit
Muhammad please. the BUFF has literally removed hundreds of thousands of Kebab in the last decade, it is a nearly perfect tool for the war we are fighting, it can just chill in an area for hours, dropping long range guided munitions from stand off range in complete safety. Yea it's ancient, but its still in service because it's VERY VERY GOOD at what it does.
