F-35, no more F-22's will be built. we never exported F-22's to foreign countries. USAF wants to start retiring F-22's so they can get the next gen aircraft. I was in Netherlands several years ago and they had started building the infrastructure for F-35's.
They delayed NGAD a few months ago. The Raptor is going to get a lot of upgrades. I think they were talking about spending $5 billion on the upgrades.
 
This is unreal footage released by NORAD - just watch as f16 is "escorting" the Russian bomber while in the Alaskan Air Defense zone ( happens all the time -Russian bombers in the zone )

 
What is happening here. What plane is what? That fly by was nuts.

that was an SU35 Russian escort fighter that did that to the US F16. im assuming some sort of "jet wash" - upsetting the air flow for the F16 - maybe @staphory can comment more ( i think he was air force )

Whatever it was, it was reckless and quite brazen.
