Re: JSF,"turkey or talisman"?

So they might prefer the F-22 to the F-35. Does that surprise you? Notice what they are NOT saying: That Australia should ditch the F-35 for the Sukhoi, EF, Rafale, Gripen, etc. They know that there is no choice apart from buying American planes. The only plane American plane better than F-35 is F-...
