If wars are waged to make some richer, then wars will be waged as long as it is possible to generate income.
Weapons are a huge source of income for some.
In 2016, some thought that the record holder for funneling people's money into the pockets of the military-industrial complex and its beneficiaries appeared to be the F-35.
MPJ 78
11-02-2016F-35 an aircraft for everything, so all in all for nothing. With the armament mounted on the external nodes, it loses its "invisibility" for the radars. Inside there is only room for 2 medium range missiles. It did not outmaneuver the F-16 in a mock battle. In this respect it is inferior to the F-15, F-18, F-22, Mig-29, Su-27, Su-30, Su-35, Eurofighter and Rafale. It is slower than the oldies such as the MiG-25 and the Mig-31. Therefore, its utility as a fighter is highly problematic. As a support aircraft, it is too fragile and takes too little armament, well, and it needs fighter cover, if only in the form of the F-15. All in all, it is not a fighter, but a product whose primary purpose is to make money. In this regard, it is the absolute record holder and the undisputed leader.
