By definition, anything in series production now, is obsolete, because the boffins have something better in development.
This isn’t a 40 year old pump. As I mentioned previously, the plane’s hardware and software are constantly being updated.
Is there something better in development? I sure hope so! But you can’t defend yourself with something in development. At this moment, we rely on the F-35.
It is foolhardy to give the current technology we might use in a war to our enemies.
