The tech for plane thing makes sense. A 10NS country shouldn't be able to be strutting around with the best high tech planes. It's a F-22 Raptor for god's sake. Other than the US and Europe(including Russia) who else can quite develop a plane like that?
China was one generation behind at last count. And a 10K nation is more like Belgium or Argentina. I don't see either lining up to get F-22s or even F-35s.
But could we please add the F-4 Phantom II to the plane line-up? It makes a lot more sense to have that occupy the place where the F-35 is. The F-35 isn't even quite in production yet, and the Phantom was the top of line aircraft for a looooong time.
Phantom Phanatics phorever!
