Actually, we just need new ones to replace the ones destroyed or worn out in Iraq and AFG.

Also a smart arms buy. If you already have a platform that's modifiable/capable to accept the new guns and the new black boxes, don't go and reinvent the thing at a cost of 15 years and $15B - and then cancel it. /if ain't broke, don't fix it.
