If you want a stealthy bomber then the F-35A is the best choice. However, it can only carry two heavy bombs in internal weapon bays. That's not a hole lot for a bomber and using externally mounted bombs sacrifices all the stealth advantages.<br /><br />3. If you want a good multi-role aircraft then the F-15E is a good choice and possibly quite cheap. But, it is optimized for the strike role - long range interdiction - not in the air-superiority role. Training would be minimized because the aircraft is already in you possession. It would also benefit US south Korean relations. So from an economical and strategic point of view, this makes a whole lot of sense. <br /><br />4. If you want the best multirole aircraft, then the Typhoon is the best choice. For long range interdiction, add conformal fuel tanks. Include the best sensor suite, i.e. Captor-E ASEA radar and PIRATE infrared search and track. Include the best missiles for air-to-air combat, i.e. MBDA meteor (long range radar guided missile) and IRIS-T (short range highly agile infrared guided missile). The weapons load of the aircraft is 7.5 tons. Within this limit, you will be able to integrate any bombs and air-to-surface missiles you want. <br /><br />Cheerio!bhigrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248267297755180307noreply@blogger.com
