Because its still better at what it does than anything else for its cost.


Wot it does is drop tactical nukes in a cold war Europe.....

Which country does Australia reckon it needs 'front-line a/c' to defend


itself from ?

The one that decides it can threaten us or our interests.


In the unrealistic above event how would ancient F-111s perform ?



Better than a JSF without in-flight refuelling.


Better yet (and for half the cost)...get some Su30's like everyone else
in the region.
