The technological superiority that US once enjoyed in the domain of fighter planes , avionics and air to air missiles is being eroded thanks to number of factors like involvement in expensive overseas wars( Afghanistan+ Iraq), economic melt-down, non-availability of funds for R&D, lazy and lethargic students, dearth of genius level/highly talented technologists and scientists, the problem has been compounded owing to the fact that potential talented immigrant (s) is scared off by bullies of homeland security and FBI.
