F-22a Raptor;
The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a single-seat, twin-engine fifth-generation supermaneuverable fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence[6] roles. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is the prime contractor and is responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems and final assembly of the F-22. Program partner Boeing Defense, Space & Security provides the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and all of the pilot and maintenance training systems.
The aircraft was variously designated F-22 and F/A-22 during the years prior to formally entering USAF service in December 2005 as the F-22A. Despite a protracted and costly development period, the United States Air Force considers the F-22 a critical component for the future of US tactical air power, and claims that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter,[2] while Lockheed Martin claims that the Raptor's combination of stealth, speed, agility, precision and situational awareness, combined with air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities, makes it the best overall fighter in the world today.[7] Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, Chief of the Australian Defence Force, said in 2004 that the "F-22 will be the most outstanding fighter plane ever built."[8]
The high cost of the aircraft, a lack of clear air-to-air combat missions because of delays in the Russian and Chinese fifth generation fighter programs, a US ban on Raptor exports, and the ongoing development of the supposedly cheaper, and more versatile F-35 resulted in calls to end F-22 production.[N 1] In April 2009 the US Department of Defense proposed to cease placing new orders, subject to Congressional approval, for a final procurement tally of 187 Raptors.[10] The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 was signed into law in October 2009 without funding for further F-22 production.[11]
Su-47;
e Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (Russian: Су-47 Беркут - Golden Eagle) (NATO reporting name Firkin), also designated S-32 and S-37 (not to be confused with the single-engined delta canard design[1] offered by Sukhoi in the early 1990s under the designation Su-37) during initial development, was an experimental supersonic jet fighter developed by Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. A distinguishing feature of the aircraft was its forward-swept wing, similar to that of the Tsybin's LL-3.[2], that gave the aircraft excellent agility and maneuverability. And while serial production of the type never materialized, the sole aircraft produced served as a technology demonstrator prototype for a number of advanced techhnologies later used in the 4.5 generation fighter SU-35BM and current Russian 5th generation fighter prototype Sukhoi PAK FA.

  • @USAirForceJacob Why would you improve a rifle that is already perfect? Compared to USA's M16 series which are improved more and more yet they still suck.

  • F-22 Raptor is unmatched and after that the U.S. will have a fleet of unmanned fighter aircraft that will crush any countries best planes and pilots.

  • @mottoxrider435 me too!!

  • @canaryman69 Added, the N.Viets and VCs were battered easily by Australian, NZ and South Korean soldiers as well. After Abrams took over command of all troops in Vietnam, his strategies actually WERE working well but unfortunately for him, the politicians just had to screw everything up. They should have also put more restrictions in the number of journalists and the media as well - those two were central in the political defeat at home.

  • @mottoxrider435 me too!!!

  • Man, its diferent class of aircraft.. do not compare them

  • @FrostMorn69 the m16 is one of the best assult rifels on earth ask any military junky or anyone who knows guns its perfect except you need to clean it a lot.

  • @W1ldSm1le i honestly think that The Ak's that you said are barely ever used by the russian military.
