"I can understand the angst, though. I'd be creeped out by an airplane that is essentially invisible, one that can shoot down 8 of my finest aircraft with ease, and never be seen." Is that better?

Me? I simply spoke a generalized truth about market economies. I don't have an agenda.

Haha, I like the Ray-ban "Aviator" clone sunglasses. I'm curious, what prevents the Chinese film industry from making a war movie depicting American, Australian, Japanese, or Korean enemies? We've had plenty of movies depicting "Evil Russians" as an enemy, and there are scads of video games...

If you've got nothing else, grasp at straws like the OBOGS. That's like saying "F-22 tires fail too often. Therefore, the entire fleet of F-22's is nothing but junk." I can understand the angst, though. I'd be creeped out by an airplane that is essentially invisible, one that can shoot down...

There will be no invasion, no attack. Please relax. And consider the sources who are spreading such rumors. I'd look to them and ponder at their motivation.

Guns in modern air combat are fiendishly hard to employ well. It's hard enough when they are completely in line and facing forward. It can take an eternity (in air combat time) to align and solve the gun tracking equation. Since we now have intelligent missiles, no one is going to fly though...
