You wanna go that direction?

They could’ve easily just kept it as an “in house” vehicle that they don’t need to release to the public. And even then if they were to release it I genuinely believe that a kill streak would be the only reasonable way for it to be useful. Like the aforementioned strike drones.
Keeping it “in house” is not a valid testing format, since it would be in a very controlled environment, whereas allowing the vehicle to be flown by anyone in the wild allows for actual proper real world testing of the stealth properties for further refinements. And as other users have mentioned, people want it for the cool factor, not necessarily have to be useful in any form. Besides, for GRB’s BR it will be fine since it won’t be facing a lot of radar’d SAMs and it has resistance to IR signatures too.
no
might as well add the US mig 23 then
I’m ready if you are
Stolen planes and trialed planes are 2 different things

Where’s the whole “Nation X pilots flying nation Y jets” argument?
Turkish pilots back seating in Qatari Rafales when?
Yeah but that gives every western nation every western jet.
That one US pilot flying RAF Typhoon
The possibilities are endless!
now that we have so much modern planes, where is eft rafale and f22.
if they are scared of f22, as they should be, then upgraded f15c and f15e and f16c should suffice
we will get better stuff anyways, no point
Fuse all Western vehicles in one tree and eastern ones in the other. 2 trees less difficulties to chose which one to pick.
