I find it very hard to believe that any modern fighter would end up as a 'turkey'. They already know how it will perform and handle before they build the first prototype! Aero engineering is not a shot in the dark--they already know what they're building even before they actually build the first one. I'd assume everyone knows that, but if you didn't, now you do. They're not going to build junk, especially not at that cost.
That being said, the unit cost certainly is insane. You'd think they'd just refine and update the already outstanding F-16 fighter design, and build fresh ones. A bit of modernization and you have a world-class fighter good for decades--better engine, radar, that full-visibility helmet, radar-absorbent coating, and you're good to go--at what, about 1/4 of the cost of the F-35?
