It would be more accurate to say you have ganged up in order to abuse him. Why don't you just come out and say that nobody with a positive attitude towards the F-35 is welcome in this topic.
I hope you're not lumping me in with sweeping generalisation peter. I've only disagreed with the message, not the messenger.

BTW, the argument that there isn't enough F-22's, keep in mind that the Russians will only have 12 PAK-FA's. Assuming they can get the design right, the Indians are most unimpressed, and that they can afford even that number.
Not true, - you have taken Borisov's comments about 'a squadron's worth' too literally. Russia is to get a reduced number of between 12 and 55 in the first batch (2016 to 2020), with approximately 200 more to follow after.

Also, these will be bolstered by additional Su-30SMs, Su-35s, & MiG-35s. As I said during my earlier 'fantasy', it is these force multipliers that are the chief concern when it comes to numbers.
