Phew, finally back on forum. Had 2 Bagrut exams, computers and TaNaH.

Here is a link for info on JSF http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/jsf.htm

Looks nice, stealth and stuff. But as it was said somewhere on Military-Quotes:"Remember, your weapon was made by the lowest bidder".

Hmmm.....Thanks, but try nd translate: TANAH is biblical studies. The Bagrut are the final exams in HS in Israel. How did you do on the tanah? I thought it was easy(took it 2...)

Sorry about offtopic. I did ok on TANAH,got my 70. Back on topic.

I dont think that many NATO countries will buy JSF, because:
A)Too damn expensive(although supposed to be cheap to maintain).
B)There arent any third world countries that are both hostile and have planes that can match F-16,F-18, Tornadoes etc that NATO counties have now, not even talking about JSF(probadly only thing that can match JSF is new Sukhoi planes).

Non NATO countries or thoose who are not allies of US prefer Russian equipment, coz its cheaper and does its job.
