NEver say never. We also were not supposed to get more F-15s, more F-16s, get the SR-71 back in the air again.
If the T-50 and J-20 are seen as real threats, you can bet that the F-22 would be right back into production.
You make it seem like you can take a production line that has been closed down for a period of time and then, poof, magically you reopen it. Well that is not reality. It takes a incredible amount of rehiring and retraining at all levels and being able to get parts from vendors who have closed down or started building other things. Or do you think all the people and parts are just standing by to reopen the line.
