@computbut You are an idiot. The F22 is a 5th generation fighter, way past our enemies (that we know). Simply put, it costs too much for upkeep for the 100 million dollar plane. The F-35, F15 Strike Eagle, and F/A-18 Super Hornet are the cost-effective fighters now. They are versatile, and can be sold to other countries. The F22 is the ace in our pocket and we have somewhere around 187 of them, which is more than enough. Please research before showing your ignorance.
THE WORLD KNOWS THAT DA F-22 IS BY FAR THEE MOST BADDEST,FASTEST,STRONGEST AND Super maneuverable jet that the USA Has eva built in this case as amatter of fact there is no jet no wer else in the world or any other country has built is BADDER THAN THE 22 RAPTOR SO SHUT YAL SKINNY WEAK HATING ASSES UP! Unless u gat $85mill 2 buy one then post a comment...as far as comments go America if u dnt hav anything interesting to say WUD U PLZ SHUT THE HELL UP!
$85 million to buy an F22? you obviously have no fucking idea what you are talking about. The piece of shit F35 costs $83 mill. The F15 Silent Eagle costs $100 million.
The flyaway cost for the F22 is $142 million. But this number is under debate, and is usually reported in the news as being $350 million; the total cost of the program ($65 billion) divided by the 187 planes on order.
If you don't even know what it costs, how do you know it's capabilities.
A big Sardar walked into a bar with his pet tiger on a leash and asked the bartender, "Do you serve Pakistanis here?". "Sure we do," replied the bartender. "Good," said the Sardar. "Give me a beer, and one Pakistani for my tiger."
Whoever thinks the F-35 is better than the F-22 is fuckin stupid, sure the F-35 is great, but the F-22 outperforms it in MANY WAYS. Including Stealth. Bitch.
Well A-10 isn't an Air Superiority aircraft, it's a ground attack one. But yes, undoubtedly the A-10 is pretty fucking epic, just saying though, the F-22 is meant to fight other planes, though it can attack ground targets too.
What I am curious to is what we are planning on replacing the rest of the aging F-15 fleet with. Sure, the F-22 is a great airplane but we still need an interceptor force strong enough to rapidly react to 9/11 style attacks. The F-22 gives us that option with its supercruse ability and long range weapons. The F-22 ups our chances of being able to do that tenfold...if having a few more 150 million dollar aircraft on alert will save another 3000 lives...count me in.
I concur. We have 650 F15s in operation right now. We can't replace that many with only 189 F22. Factoring in F16 and F18 being replaced by few F35s. In my opinion, I feel that we should have simply upgraded our existing fleet of aircraft, and instead create better missiles. Or just wait for the UCAVS to develop for 10 more years until they become a beast of burden in our inventory. Was there really a NEED to replace our planes? Were they being shot down left and right? No.
@rtrThanos i dont like the f35 as a matter of fact the f22 is more agile and better than the f35. The only advantage about the f35 is that its has a more modern interior radar capability and so on, but the f22 r4emains the best fighter jet. It may be expensive but i think the Us need to maintain the f22s
Really? Then how do you explain the F15 Silent Eagle? If the F15 design is so outdated, why did they make a newer version with a lower radar cross section, that costs more than the F35? It's outdated, but it costs $100 million?
As far as tech goes, they're retrofitting F15s with the AN/APG63v3 AESA, and many people think that "stealth" isn't as hot as the media wants us to think. It CAN use helmet sights, like Israel's F15 fleet. And it can use the same weps. :P
It's a nifty plane, for sure. I'm just really hung up on that price tag. I agree with you about the F15 though. I was just throwing that in there about the F15SE, because I can't believe that thing will cost $100mill!
You know what? Let's settle this debate once and for all. I just got my hands on a beta copy of the PAK-FA, and a couple of RVV-SD missiles. If you could "borrow" an F22 laying around at your dad's office, with some of those AMRAAM-Ds, than I'll meet you down at the baseball field at midnight. AND NO AWACS THIS TIME, you cheater!
Did you see the PAK-FA yet? It looks just like the YF-23! You know, the plane we rejected in favor of the F22 :D
@TheSteelerfan74 these aircraft are beautifully designed, however there are superfluous, a missile would take down the same target for a much greater cost.
Some people are ridiculous...! It's not about the aircraft..., i love it the most..., but i'm still curious how many people do still believe that 9/11 was a "terrorist attack":P? You numbs, all of these things have been known from before they were to happen, how can some still believe the crap with terrorists. The american leaders and government..., they are the real terrorists...!
Not to insult, but..., lol, i can't believe i read something like that even now!

Considering how the F22 has yet to make an appearance over AN ACTUAL COMBAT ZONE, are only operational about 62% of the time, and are designed and built to fight a Soviet Air Force THAT NO LONGER EXISTS, I'd say Obama made the right call.

Hmmm i don't think they will use those tanks or any other tanks cause first it compromises "stealth" and second it adds stress to wings which may shorten the F-22's life span..those tanks were just experimental and under testing..don't think you will see them in the future..anyway they can air refuel easy enough anywhere anytime if need be....
