Langey was treated to a preview of the new season's demo today. It is unbelievable. From powering out of a slow high angle of attack to a vectored corkscrew turn, the new demonstrated capabilities make this clip nearly obselete. It's apparant we've merely been given a taste of what this amazing jet can really do. They did the demo twice today.
Despite all the engineering finesse in the world, however, the F-22A's stealth capabilities put it far ahead of the competition. In an age where missiles and radar, instead of speed and agility, often decide the fight, the ability to vanish from sight is checkmate. Some aircraft might be faster, more agile or smaller than the Raptor, but none of them can kill what they can't see.
The Eurofighter, the Su-37, the Rafale and a number of other 4th/5th Generation aircraft are fantastic designs. The F-22A, however, remains at the top. All of these aircraft (or their predecesors) were designed to fight a war that never happened, and it's unlikely we'll ever see them all thrown into a ring against one-another.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A key reliability requirement for the F-22A is a
3-hour mean time between maintenance, but but right now is less than 1 hour! The F22 is junk, its very unreliable! It also have at least 2 structural problems:
- The F22 have cracks in the aircraft's aft boom where the horizontal tail attaches to the fuselage.
-The F22 have cracs in "titanium casting" materials near the engine.
all planes go through prevenitive maintance. the 1 hour mean time is hour long the plane iss do to scheduled routine mataince not because its broken. it's the equivilent of getting you oil changed every 3000 mile even if the car doesnt need it its donne anyway. and besides every new systems first genhas a shake down time. all the testing in the worl is no match for real life action.

Most Airforces have these reports - read it yourself - instead of listening to US kids with the F22 poster hanging on the wall!
no international war games have happend yet .but it is acknowledged that every nato pilot who has flown it and they have. everyone wants this 1 not the mig not the euro fighter this 1. all the US allies are pissed they cant buy it.
You posted this thing some times, I'm seriously considering the fact that you're just copy/pasting it from topic to topic...why don't you try finding something new or just stop with this fickin' air power review??...
HAHAH pak-fa will be the revolution in the aircraft. You mean MiG 1.44 will eat f-22. Iwanow said already that any of MFIs are better than raptor. Compare 22s with Typhoon that would be more realistic.
the mig is an excellent last gen fighter. roughly equal to the f-15. the su 37 is 3 5th gen fighter this plane was built to kill. th 1.44 is an upgrade to the mig 29. wich was routinely waxed by f15/16s. if capable pilots flew them maybe id worry.
Thats what they said when the russians copied the F-15s style (MiG-29). F-15: MiG-29 as F-22: PAK:FA. The results of F-15 vs mig by the way? 0 F-15s shot down, hundreds of MiGs downed.
the f-22 that carshed crashed from a bug in the control system its was a prototype thats goin to happen the su-30 that crashed crashed becuz it lost to much airspeed during a manouver and fell to earth wich the raptor dosent do during and after its manouver it maintains foward flight the su-30s and up all lose too much speed and have to drop there nose to maintain foward flight its very noticible
ive seen the raptor do numorus things and even more then the terminator ive seen the raptor do things no other jet do let alone a actual war ready fighter i know alot about the terminator unlike you i check both sides of the debate b4 stiking my nose in you should try the same
ha..ha ha ha u guys dont know nothing about su 37 no fighter can do what su 37 dose so what crush i have seen f-22 crshing dose that means f-22 its not good go and search about Su 37 or ask some pilot if u know any cuz i know so many by the way the su ur talking about that crshd in airshow it was su-30
the su-37 never showed offensive capability and with weapons is like a flying limp dick it wont be able to perform all its manouvers o and wich su-37 are you talken about the one that crash or the to that were converted back to su-35s??
Ah, but I *am* thinking positively. When we're at war with North Korea and Iran, we'll be so busy with the nuclear fallout we won't give a damn about the F-22's capabilities *or* its price tag. :D
I just love the plane, personally. And sooner or later some of the tech developed for it will help feed the homeless and clothe the hungry, or whatever.
all you whiney ass tree huggers on here are missing the point...!!! the men who put their blood, sweat and tears into designing these things love(ed) engineering...!!! and i can respect these machines for the beauty of their design. flawless in every single way. the f-22 reminds me of a metal paper airplane we've all made in school. this guy simply posted this up to show you something he enjoys and you have to bash it.
I appreciate your comments and support. As for the dissentors, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I still have the right to delete or turn off comments should they stray too far out.. :) It's about the Aircraft, not the politics or fighting or money or any one person's opinion.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
Yes. As swerve points out, if you're going to talk the talk, then maybe you should WALK THE WALK first... or else your words are as empty to our ears, as cotton candy might taste good to the mouth, but is nothing to the stomach.
Sell all that you have, and give it to the poor... then come talk your words.
You must be too young to know what "hypocrisy" means.
I know I destroyed it, because what I said is correct. You're too dim to understand it.
The country that doesn't build warships or rockets, is the country that is taken over by a tyrant dictatorship, and raped. That better than some people that choose to be poor? No excuse, unless you're mentally ill.
What's a plane like this cost? How many gal. per min.?
And an Iraqi with a sniper rifle still kills US soldiers... so what is the point of all the hardware....? You need to win hearts and minds in order to stay save and free. Reliance on this type of hardware is really more like jerking off, feels good but what's the point other than making ex-generals and defense contractors wealthy
Q: Why risk a $120M aircraft to drop a $100K bomb on a target that could be blown up by $200K of CIA assets with $10K of C4?
The F-22 is amazing and I suspect its supercruise, stealth, and thrust-vectoring is very useful for close air support in Iraq and Afghanistan, but even if you aren't a tree-hugger (I am), the money would be better spent on the CIA, NSA, FBI, and USSOCOM. Unconventional tactics will win even conventional wars.
I believe it's because there's a value of life involved... Send in several agents to destroy single target, or send in one pilot that can destroy that same target, with less risk and less people on your side that may die. Life preservation.
Obviously, air strikes are the best way of taking stuff out, but in the current environment there's not a lot of SAMs and AAMs flying around, meaning a lot of the F-22's capabilities are wasted.
Not to mention the fact that it's a lot harder to disavow a laser-guided bomb than a satchel charge. ;)
Yeah, that's what stuck out to me too. Russian birds do flip and flop around but the Raptor does it smoothly and with stability, always under control...
I remeber that day, one time when the 22 was doing a vertical climb it set off almost all the car alarms.
