I was just wondering why are some countries still buying old western junk like the F-15s (South Korea, Singapore, Japan..etc) when there may be better aircraft out there, eg, Su-30, MiG-29 (China, Malaysia, Thailand...just to name a few in the Asian region as it might just be the next flashpoint). I'm not pretending to be the most knowledgable military buff out there, but I'm quite sure the F-15s and F-16s are outclassed by the more recent Russian fighters. Why are some countries continuing to purchase these outdated Western fighters when they could have gone for the more technologically advanced Eurofighter Typhoon or Rafale?
