The main thorn is the Boeing Silent Eagle which would be attractive solution but I think Japan sees that as second best, I do see a sale of the F35A to Japan to keep America happy in a split buy with Typhoon.

I’m think Japan would opt for the aircraft witrh the lower RCS, stealth being the big game changer and all that.
Now I don’t for a moment buy into the Boeing claims the F-15SE is as stealthy as the F-35 but is it more stealthy than the Typhoon? (I honestly don’t know)

Also who would be able to better supply the needed and varied weapons and support infustructure for Japans new fighter be it Typhoon or F-15SE? I have a very good feeling it wouldn’t be the Typhoon sellers.

F-35 would be the best of the bunch for the job. Massivly more stealthy than the Typhoon which counts for a great deal but could F-35’s be delivered on time for Japans needs?

I really don’t care about Iraq. I am not my brothers keeper. A no-fly zone op going even til now would be lots cheaper.

You say you don’t care about Iraq yet you cared enough to have wanted a no-fly zone which BTW doesn’t prevent genocide and there resulting mass graves or prevent atrocious human rights abuses.
You’re damn right though a no-fly zone would have been cheaper, can’t argue with that.

Bush, McCain, etc etc… Obama….

Dems, Republicans…. don’t care. They are all basically committing treason by destroying the country.

Treason, nice accusation there you made with no shredd of reality.
If you think Bush destroyed the country by spending a bit on Iraq then you’re gonna really hate the Messiah for he’s spending like a teenager with a credit card,, a 24 trillion credit card :dev2: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Politics/story?id=8127005&page=1

And well done ELP for writing a very good debunking of the tripe the media spew.

I am honored to be on your ignore list, nothing better could have happened to me.

I took you off it so I could read your post to see if you had come up with an answer to my question, you couldn’t.

What ever you say, Mr S-300..:)

That photo is of the test EA-18s before they got their pods. They came from the Boeing site.

Thaks for the info, ATS failed again I guess, and so did I!

The Kh-54 on a Su-34 with its Active stand-off jammer radiating like hell, would give the Patriot(PAC-3) a run for the money..

Thanks

would that not provide a nice and easy HOJ kill for the patriot?
