F-16's? They still use those things? Damn. I figured they would have come out with something new by now what with all these technological advancements these days.
Our F-16's have been upgraded with current technology and are all we need in a fighter at the moment.
we already have more advanced jets
they're just expensive
the f-22 i think will eventually completely replace the f-16, or something like that.
No. The F-22 is a stealth aircraft designed to sneak in, take out a target, and sneak out. It's also loaded with problems that we're spending far to much to try to solve. They'll be grounded and soaking up funding for a long time before they'll actually be an asset.
The F-35 is closer to replacing fighters.
