    So 751 F-15 A&B become 186 F-22's and then we have 179 F-15C's left?
    What are we thinking about? History EXISTS

    You're assuming Austrailia will have no need for these aircraft in the future, which is as stupid as you accuse the previous argument as being. The F-35 will be around for at least 30 years, it's very likely to be around 10-20 years longer than that. You can't guarantee no threat to Austrailia in that span, of course. Better to be prepared for the future than be caught unprepared because of short-sighted thoughts like your own.
