In what war was a fighter-bomber used in the last twenty years? In what context would we, Australia, use one in the next forty years? A Fijian invasion? A war with China? A civil war with Tasmania? In what way would a fighter bomber (as opposed to, say, a swarm of drones and a hacking device) be useful in this context?
Please answer this.
Why, old friend, are we buying this piece of junk?
