Cheap is relative to others in the class. Right now the Europeans don't really have anything to compete against it at its price point even with tariffs & VAT. Plus it is American muscle admired and lusted for since the very first version back in `64.

Nor were the French, but hells bells man it was a war that wasn't being fought to win. According to some it wasn't even a war, it was a policing action.

It was being fought to maintain a status quo. We (the Americans & UN troops) simply decided it was no longer worth fighting for the goal of a stalemate. Many other countries from the UN where there with us as well. They didn't fare much better either with the exceptions of the Koreans who had a rather perverse method of dealing with an attack on one of their Fire Bases.

All depends, as Argentina taken any of their sheep farming Islands lately?

It's what they've done with any junk that the americans have ever come up with, that's for sure.

Well, no, I'm not an idiot, and I do know that China has about 90 submarines, more than 5,000 combat aircraft, an army of more than two million, and they have also just committed an additional $10 billion toward a updating the navy. Yes, it'll take a while, but fighting the Chinese is not a slam dunk. After all the bombs are dropped and all the missiles shot someone still has to go in and take possession with boots on the ground.

BTW, I was a staffie... CincPac, CincPacFlt, NATO South, ComFairMed, SubLant

I'm killfiling the whole mess....

The Communists fought to win and beat America.

Ugly Sarah, a stay at home *old* housewife pretending that she knows more about the navy at than someone who was in it??

Admired and lusted over for it's van style suspension?

Ever wondered why that despite being cheap and nasty, American cars still don't sell?

Because I'm a quality European surrounded by quality things, innit.

We sent it to your masters in Israel.

Is so, you've not noticed that all your belonings have "Made in PRC" on them?

So why has yours stopped bouncing, and started free falling?

Of course you do.

I own not one thing that says "Made in PRC" on it.

Those nasty Israelis will blow up anything that moves, remember what they did to your USS Liberty?

Must have gotten blown up on a bus with 15 kids on there way to school.
