JSF is it worth it for the aggro we shall get?

The JSF.The all singing all dancing fighter/bomber.It shoots down planes it drops bombs AND its got that stealth coating on it to reduce RCS.Sounds too good to be true?Then it is!Take a step back and look at this program for a moment.The americans say they want everyone in the western world to be involved with the production and sale of this aircraft.This means stealth coatings being exported.The one bit of tech that the yanks would not part with because it makes them supposely ‘dominant’.So therefore the jsf’s that we and others get will not be the full spec.Because the ‘lick spital’ generals in the Pentagon would sooner cut off their right arm than let this get out.
But thats not all what about the black boxes on the the inside of the aircraft?Will we and others be allowed to even service or upgrade our jsf’s without the usa’s permission for fear of uncovering some avionic secret?
In short the jsf program is not worth the time and effort because we will get below spec planes.Also will stealth be rended obsolete by new air to air/surface to air missiles with seeker heads that can detect stealth?The Russians already claim to have one with the V-77 Vympel.
I hope we come to our senses soon and leave this programe as do the Norewegians.The answer?SAAB Gripen with racks for V-77!
Finaly a Merry Christmas to all who use this forum and a good New Year.
