Overpriced piece of junk. I would rather have numerical superiority the high-technology compare the Sherman tank versus the tiger 2 in World War II. The Tiger tank was way awesome but it was overloaded too slow and I couldn't make enough of them and it was subject to frequent breakdowns as well. Better to make a whole bunch of block whatever F-16 F-18 like Canada and other countries are doing instead of making some overpriced piece of junk that cannot work as promised.

LTC (Join to see) Actually, Canada bought into the hype about this plane as well. There were 9 Nations involved initially.
United States
United Kingdom
Turkey
Norway
Netherlands
Italy
Denmark
Canada
Australia
There are also sales going to Israel, South Korea, and Japan. So while it is still ugly, underpowered, overpriced, and an unwanted piece of junk for those on the front line, we are at least not alone on the junk heap. I wonder how much the other nations are having to shell out as part of the over runs. I am sure it is not just us.
