One of two things will happen. Either Lockheed Martin will drag their feet on this and give all sorts of reasons why it can’t be done, because they can make more money off the F-35. Or Lockheed Martin will use it as an excuse to charge more for each F-22, because they need to reopen the line, as well as charging more for the F-35, because of a lower buy and the fact that the line they had planned to use is now building the F-22.

The F-22A would be an upgraded version incorporating new technology. Of course it will cost more...and be even more capable.

A thoroughbred costs more than a circus pony.
