Still a good aircraft, it was like all European projects plagued with lack of resources and government interference.
So basically give it the money that a US project would receive and remove the work sharing squabbles from the EU and it would have been out earlier... its not a bad aircraft but just too late

.
Did anybody really think that the EU would be able to produce a better aircraft than US and Russia... Only if they were given the same amount of money and free reign the other countries give there contracts.
BTW PAK FA FTW
