"The US Deputy Defence Secretary, Gordon England, has written to Defence Minister Brendan Nelson saying the US will not export the world's most deadly warplane - the F-22 Raptor - to Australia.[...] "Regarding the F-22, our current position is that the airplane will not be made available to foreign military sales," Mr England wrote. [...] The Pentagon plans to buy about 2500 of the Lockheed Martin-made F-35s and sell the plane to nine partner countries, including Australia. [...] The Government has recently signalled its intention to buy or lease 24 Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet fighters from the US, to ensure there is no gap in air combat capability between the retirement of the F-111 from 2010 and the arrival of the F-35 from 2014."[/quote]
