The big plane is to replace the F-16 and A-10 with the F-35 (as well as the Marine Harrier and older model Marine and Navy F-18A/B/C models). Most are aware of the cost overruns (yes, it's true) and issues with the engine.

Question: Is it realistic to build a smaller F-22 to replace the F-16?

Question: It it possible to replace Harriers with VTOL CAS UCAVs?

Question: Should the production of the F-22 (possible FB-22 variants) end at 183 or continue to 381 air frames?
