Love and War: The Relationship Between Congress and the F-22

[razor11079]

one day you will say f-22 we need you!. now russia have a su-37 it design to fight with f-22

[TerminatorSVT]

God shit like this pisses me off. Yea its true that we dont need the F22 for the current wars but how could people be so narrow minded??? The F22 guarantees the success for the wars of tomorrow. Russia is developing their own stealth fighter (the sukhoi T-50 I belive, correct me if I'm wrong) and even the Indians are going into the 5th generation fighter business, wont be too long before china steals the technology from the russians and has their own 5th gen stealth fighter

[strongmann99]

It is going to be a nightmare when China and Russia get 5th gen technology. And they create about a 1,000 a piece. They will over power are air force. We may not need the f-22 now but we will soon. Trust me everyone very soon. China wants to take over Asia. I hope congress brings back production of hte f-22. I want it gaurding my back when I am fighting for my country.

[andrewm153351]

they will never make 1000 5th generation fighter jets, only the u.s. has money for something like that. You have to remember that we still make 3x more than china and 7x more than russia every year.

And we will have over 2,400 f-35's which are 5th generation fighter jets.

[strongmann99]

I dont see how congress can be so stupid to end the f-22 production.

[jgtheman84]

me niether, they should make as many as possible

[Wawaweewaj]

Obviously you dont get it its all about air superiority you are an idiot

[cssoldier10]

The F-22 is currently the best fighter in the world, and it looks like it'll stay like that for awhile. This is a time where the U.S. can't afford a weaker military, since there are many potential conflicts around the globe that may develop soon. I would suggest selling and getting rid of the older fighters in the U.S. arsenal and gradually replace them with the F-22's, so that way the airforce becomes stronger and so we don't end up having all the other obsolete designs like the F-16.

Nice video work at lying. You should be proud of yourself.

[stme2008]

the pentagon says we have enough of these fighters!! and they are not a good plane ither from what ive seen & heard here at you tube well the big thing is pentagon says we have plenty finaly some back bone obama! also please give us the names of these republicans that want to spend so much remember it efects our grand kids spending on somthing we do not even need as the pentagon says we have too many of these fighters already go obama back bone VETO please YES

[strongmann99]

We need more F-22's. And it is the best fighter in the world. And Obama has spent more money in the 9 months he has been in office then every other US president combined. Obama's spending will effect our grand kids a 1,000 times more then the F-22. The f-22 wont affect our grand kids at all.

= poor

[Raptor03042]

Sorry, but his video is full of half truths and isn't really anything but biased and misleading. I can't really say for sure that 187 F-22s aren't enough, but then, I can't really say that they are either. The highest ranking officials of the USAF (until Robert Gates fired them) and Congress have both wanted more F-22s. And, the per unit cost would have been reduced if they produced as many as they originally wanted instead of continually cutting back the program. The R&D is already payed for.

[cr9527]

100% agreed.

[bjphysics]

I worked on this, know alot about defence needs and the video's message is correct - 187 is enough. Spend the money on IED detection and negation; that's what we need in near term wars.

[cr9527]

Iraq, and Afghan is long over. You need to think about the future.
