No matter whether B- or C-version - still too expensive in these times, still to small an internal payload (spending all that money on making it stealthy and then compromising stealth by adding external payloads...???), and as many also say: too short legs, with the B-version having even shorter legs.
I saw the customer list so far somewhere, 11 countries - all names on the list suffering from extremly troublesome financial status. Spending without being able to afford it - something's wrong there. Sometimes you have to cut back your global intentions and stay with the cheaper solutions. You may still be able to defend what is vital to you. Just that maybe you have to shorten the planned front and can no longer plan for operations and wars that are no needs but luxurious choices.
