The dumbed down export versions will not be worth it though, if you cant get full stealth, why bother? Then you can just buy EF-2000/Rafale/Gripen instead.

I hear we are getting the full version There are still politicians talking about the Eurofighter, but they just need to stfu. EF development started in the late 70s. It'll be outperformed and outclassed by the JSF. Then we're better of with the block 50 F-16s we have now.

Who is gonna use it?only USA and Brits,or even somebody else?

I really dont know much about it but it looks like a big piece of ****

Read my previous post again, we're going to get it. (There're still people against it, but I don't think the decision will be overturned.) The US wants our nation in the pact, because the technique used to glue the thing together is invented and patented by a Dutch company.

oh.well ok then

I think the JSF is a good aircraft. It's relatively inexpensive (or so I've heard) and it's a V/STOL. How much better can you get?

As far as I now, it's not a V/STOL, there is talk about making V/STOL versions. But the standard version will be taking off conventional.

As far as I know, the American version is V/STOL. The engine enclosure opens, and the nacelle swivels down.

Off topic,but why do they plan to stop the F22-raptor project
