       @GottaLaff Europeans can and will do it. Orders are raining for French fighter jets and everything because US or it's equipments cannot be trusted. US can never take the market back. India just ordered Dassault Rafales instead of F-35. Portugal cancelled their F-35 order and will buy European instead. Probably Eurofighter Typhoon or Rafale.

       @GottaLaff Finland should also cancel F-34 order and buy Rafales and/or Eurofighters instead imho. Swedish Gripen uses US engines.

       @GottaLaff Rafale and Eurofighter have stealth coating and other stealth stuff but what matters is who can see and lock on a target first. Russian jets have 0 stealth. Their most used Sukhois are huge and can be seen from everywhere. F-35 doesn't have better radars etc. It maybe would be seen later than Rafale or Typhoon but it doesn't matter against Russian planes.

       @GottaLaff Unlike F-35 they are battle proven, reliable and far more agile. And they are much cheaper and easier to maintain and keep them fighting.

       @GottaLaff Finland chose to buy F-35 because it was promised at discount price and because of US and NATO security deals. Now things are changed.

       @GottaLaff Maybe because of a kill switch or just that US doesn't provide parts or any maintenace for enemies of US and it's pal Russia.

       @GottaLaff Eurofighter's or Rafale's radar visibility is the same as a big bird. Compared to that Russian Sukhois are Russian Sukhois. Smaller Mig 29 etc are very visible also.

       @GottaLaff Russian stealth fighter looked so poorly made that its a miracle If it flies or is stealth. Even if it works they have maybe 2 or 3 of them. Same as with their Armata-tank. Doesn't work and only 2 are made. And they don't work.
