Two Air Force F-35A Lightning IIs from the 388th Fighter Squadron and three F-15C Eagles from the 493rd Fighter Squadron fly in formation during a training sortie over the United Kingdom, April 27, 2017. The F-35As first arrived at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, April 15, from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, marking the aircraft’s first flying training deployment to Europe

Silent Eagle is a proposed upgrade of the F-15E strike fighter. I'll take an operational fighter over a proposed one any day. Besides, the roles of these two aircraft ar rather different and F-35 will serve as enabler for the F-15E in whatever guise.

what do you think if the U.S didn't develop F-35 which was designed to be a low cost $30,000 jack of all trades master of none, but focused on more specialist aircraft.

FB-22 for a regional stealth bomber
Super Tomcat 21 for the Navy
F-15STOL/MTD for the Air Force
