Tästä on ollut foorumilla keskustelua. Ei tuo tietenkään JSF-hanketta vaaranna eikä HX-hankkeeseen juurikaan vaikuta. Mutta on loogista ajatella näin.
USAF and USN Both Come To Terms With Long 4th Generation Fighter Futures

With more than 800 upgraded legacy fighter jets, the Air Force looks increasingly set to abandon its overly ambitious plans to buy more than 1,700 Joint Strike Fighter.

On top of that, the Navy wants to buy
at least 80 all-new Super Hornets, likely in the Block III configuration, in order to make up a growing fighter jet shortfall, especially as older F/A-18C/D Hornet aircraft simply age out.
