The future of the European fighter industry.

Dear sirs,

I feel like I have some very important and valid questions regarding the European fighter industry going forward. As we now know, The U.S. Russia, China, India,Israel,turkey,some European members, and Japan will all field large numbers of these so called 5th generation fighters in the next 10-15 years. How do SAAB, Euro-fighter, and dassault all stay profitable and relevant in the next 20 years in the face of this growth in new fighters sales?

1. Regardless if you believe that 5th generation is real or not, most of the worlds countries have accepted this philosophy.

2. I suspect that the low end of this emerging fighter market will begin to be taken over by China within 10+ years. The only thing that will stop countries from buying a 60 million dollar J-X over a 80 million dollar Typhoon will be ideology.

3. How will the Europeans develop stealthy successful UCAV airframes if they have never perfected this newer generation? do they plan on skipping 5th gen development all together?

4. Is there the money or the political will to start another fighter consortium project like the Typhoon?

5. And finally, where does the put the European market, in the next 15-20 years with no full upgrade on the table? If you start a next gen fighter now, there is no guarantee that it will no be obsolete by IOC.

Please discuss, Im am very curious about the future of Europe.
