I have a lot of questions about this program.

1. Is there any political will or even the money for a from the ground up project?

2. Do we have off the shelf solutions Like Upgraded or nasalized F-22, F-35 air optimized, Upgraded F-18G, ect. anything that can minimize development time?

3. if you fulfill the requirements with a stealthy UCAS fighter will it cost significantly less than the above?
