This one seems to fall into the "if it works, don't **** with it"
category.

What do you want a newer weapon to do that would work better than
what's already there and in the development plan?

F14/F15/F16/F18 certainly work, so why do we spend tens of billions of
dollars on F22/F35? Why not just buy newer upgraded version of Eagle
and Falcon? Cause the enemies aren't sitting still, what works today
might not work tomorrow, you must plan for the future.
