considering the JSF program is actually being paid by a number of different nations and they are partners who share I believe share in profits from the sales proportional to their level in the program?

To Kenshin: I find it hilarous that you are critisizing the US's fighters, especcially since we allow you to buy some of our primer fighters for a pretty good rate. You currently operate the F-15, and the only other countries that are allowed to have them exported to are Saudi Arabia, Israel and South Korea. I believe there is a good chance that the F-22 may be allowed to be exported only to your country.
As for the JSF i believe that Great Britain will get the full stealth version of because they are a full-participant in providing funding and expertice for the program.

I've also noted that the sort of deployable laser tech your funding seems to be running into problems according to some journals and sites (I'm a layman so excuse me if I have got it wrong). The USAF 747 lazer platorms built by Boeing seem to be snagged by waiting for the lasers systems that are not ready as expected. Has this changed?

How do you know that a MiG-31 FOXHOUND, couldn't shoot down A F-22. I bet A super modified version of the MiG-31 FOXHOUND would be able to take down a F-22
its simple, if a Mig-31 was one the tail of a F-22 all the raptor would need to do is to make a turn and instantly lose the Mig-31, because all it is is a plane with big engines suck in and designed to be a point -blank interceptor.
This is all assuming that it is about a mile near the Raptor & can barely see it. most likely the Mig would be destroyed in a bombing run by a group of stealth planes, never even getting up to fight. Even in the air, the plane must be relly close to the Raptor to see it, but the raptor can launch way farther out and destroy the Mig before its even seen.
