Whenever a new stealth fighter jet is proposed, the design it takes is from F22 raptor. Why can't anyone go with the design of YF23, the most beautiful stealth fighter of all times.

Whenever a new stealth fighter jet is proposed, the design it takes is from F22 raptor. Why can't anyone go with the design of YF23, the most beautiful stealth fighter of all times.

I think it is because YF 23 is not as maneuverable as F22. Beside that Lockheed Martin is helping the program so it is understandable to see KFX looks like F22. F22 is also a proven design and I think the designer dont want to risk with a new design. There is also 22 Lockheed Martin technology in this plane.

But if you see into Tempest program, it looks like YF23 more than F22, but the program is still in very early phase.

If the project is successful and Indonesia is still in the program (there is renegotiation going on), I believe Indonesia and South Korea dont have problem with selling the jet to Vietnam, but the engine is still US made so it depends on your relation with US.

Another raptor?

It has similarity with F22 design but overall it is still a different design.

No worry Vietnam relationship improves at lightning speed. Trump even pressured Vietnam to buy fighter jets, missiles, and everything else at the last visit.
