Post; F-35

rock45 · February 25th, 2008

To date nobody getting the F-22 yet the Australians might down the road. I hope Japan doesn't since the let missile tech secrets get stolen by the Chinese. The article was talking about the F-35 basically a replacement for the F-16 and other aircraft as well. Philippines can't afford used F-16s so the F-35 is not possible for them. About New Zealand I don't know I thought they had older F-16s but I don't see them listed here:

South Korea and Japan aren't one of the current partners but as good allies I'm sure they would be able to purchase them at some point in the future. I have a feeling the F-35 is going to be much better then people think.
