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.

You want to open up all of the cans of worms?

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.

Still gives the same result.

It’s a joke, not many rumors to round up and discuss so this thread turns into off topic 2.0

Pffft, this is only tip of the iceberg…
Where’s the whole “Nation X pilots flying nation Y jets” argument?

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.
