The one thing they have going for them is the ability to throw tens of thousands of people at the project and still spend way less than we do. don't be surprised if they manage to get at least 90% of the electronic capabilities of the JSF. The people they throw at this are very smart and very good at what they do. they don't innovate because they dont have to, they let us do all the hard work of dreaming, designing, building then they swoop in and steal it because it's much cheaper to do so. then they reverse engineer it and do it their own way on the cheap.
