Its the same as the B-52 and B-1, F-117 & B-2. They never offered to sell them to their closest Allies, such as Australia, Japan and the UK.

Can you list any countries that were turn down the aircraft you listed above?  I'm still interested in reading about them and why.  Gripen I'm not trying to lock horns with you but you made a statement here saying the US turn down selling aircraft you listed and I'm waiting for you to back up your statement.  If you have any questions about any of my posts I'm more then willing to explain or discuss any of my posts.

What would be the point in selling the Raptor to a country that already has the F-35? It'd be defeating the purpose of the F-35!

What are you talking about your complaining about the US not wanting to sell the F-22 to your country right?  So now since your getting the F-35 so now don't want the F-22?  What are you talking about and besides there two different type platforms and my country going to have both why wouldn't you want your country to have both?   Having both are useful the F-22 take care of the Flankers and F-35s blow up the bases they came from.   Groups of F-35s could carry out both missions but the F-22 is the better fighter of the two.

Well Gripen, selling the B-1B, B-2, F-117, F-22, has its consequences.

You can't go selling every superior technology you have, like Nonpilot said, we share alot, but not the major things that we need for superiority  :)
