That fighter plane might be 'state of the art'... but so were battleships on the day before Pearl Harbor.
They're already obsolete. Unmanned combat air vehicles have already demonstrated the ability to turn inside a manned aircraft and shoot it down in a dogfight- and there's no other reason for a pilot to be in one anymore.
That means they're almost as wasteful for Canucks to buy as it is for Amuuricuns. After all, Lockheed Martin has already sewn up the $375 BILLION DOLLAR CONTACT, given during a time of PEACE?!
Dwight D. Eisenhower was right. Every fucking word. The current state of America is economic/corporate fascism and the people would rather watch Faux News than think for themselves.
