True.
See also the Patriot Jet, circa 1996: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6331
That's a modern "fighter jet". It just doesn't have any weapons. Does the 4403
model have visible weapons?
if not, it doesn't undercut the argument (although it slices pretty close if you
ask me) that they're not producing toys that (as designed) emulate modern
warfare weaponry.
