Is there anything in the pipeline at all ? If these mfg’ers want to be considered world class, do they not have to get on with at least developing something ?
People give Russia a hard time for refraining from making its 2nd tier (Mig 29/35 line) stealth. Even that has changed now with the news of the UAE deal. Russia probably had plans for it all along but was shopping it for another sovereign to get in.
That will put even more distance between the aviation superpowers (Russia and US) and the rest.
I am a stealth skeptic myself but that doesn’t matter. Perception is everything.
