Its a shame they have to spend all that time engineering and producing these things. They could verywell be doing something more usefull to mankind. It`s an impressive aircraft, just used for bad reasons in most cases.

nice plane and all, but it really doesn`t seem like a massive leap in engineering to me.

^^That`s because it doesn`t look like something out of a sci-fi film. But I guarantee if you got it up in the air against previous generations of fighters, they wouldn`t stand a chance.
