Remote Controlled Fighter Jet Biography
No opportunity for export currently exists because the export sale of the F-22 is barred by American federal law.[44] Current customers for U.S. fighters are either acquiring earlier designs such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, and Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, or are waiting to acquire the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter), which contains technology from the F-22 but is designed to be cheaper, more flexible, and available for export.[45] The F-35 will not be as agile as the F-22 or fly as high or as fast, but its radar and avionics will be more advanced.[46] On 27 September 2006, Congress upheld the ban on foreign sales of the F-22;[47] and confirmed this in December 2006.[48]
The Japanese government showed interest in the F-22 for its Replacement-Fighter program.[49] However, a sale would need approval from the Pentagon, State Department and Congress. It was stated that the F-22 would decrease the number of fighters needed by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), reducing engineering and staffing costs. In August 2009, it was reported that the F-22 would require increases to the military budget beyond the historic 1 percent of GDP.[50] In June 2009, Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada said Japan still sought the F-22.[51]
Some Australian politicians and defense commentators have proposed that Australia should purchase F-22s instead of the F-35.[52][53] In 2006, Kim Beazley. leader of the Australian Labor Party supported this proposal on the grounds that the F-22 is a proven, highly capable aircraft, while the F-35 is still under development.[54] However, Australia's Howard government ruled out purchase of the F-22, as its release for export is unlikely, and lacks sufficient ground/maritime strike capacity.[55] The following year, the newly-elected Rudd Government ordered a review of plans to procure the F-35 and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, including an evaluation of the F-22's suitability. The then Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon stated: "I intend to pursue American politicians for access to the Raptor".[56] In February 2008, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he had no objection to F-22 sales to Australia.[57] However the RAAF found that the "F-22 Raptor cannot perform the strike or close air support roles planned for the JSF."[58]
