It was developed for the United States Air Force, and first flew in July 1972. It is one of the most recognized fighters of the modern day.

@Mike32587 There are many countries you can't attack. Many countries you simply can't push around by military means. All you do is attack banana states like Iraq. xD

@ilkkavu When you're the best, all there is are inferior countries.

@vodkasvictim It's hilarious how you war-crazy americans only count your own soldiers as casualties. These wars you fight are not real wars. You attack only inferior small countries.

@vodkasvictim your right,we found that the F-4 managed to perform EVERY role in the book to ASTOUNDING effect,roles that the designers would laugh at you for suggesting it be used in. the F-117 that was shot down had its bomb bay door stuck open,completely compromising its stealth capabilities. and the T-50 is NOT a stealth fighter,it is a low observability fighter. the F-22 IS the best 5th generation fighter aircraft,and will stay that way forever(the next generation will be unmanned). USAF!

I love how the precision of the f-15 Pilot makes him want to say 50 - 52 % instead of just 50 percent, because in his mind, numbers are much more important than per ce a regular businessman

@vodkasvictim

na the f4 killed to much fuel and the wings were way to short for it

@vodkasvictim I use the name predator because it's widely known, also they are being use as such right now under the name Reaper. The F16 was and still is a great fighter but other countries are catching and some surpased the performance of the F16. Drones like the Reaper are actually control by a pilot unlike your example of the Nukes senario, maybe I should have use UAV instead of Drones.

[vodkasvictim]

@sleeplespsycho

Drones maybe, but not predator; a new drone would have to be developed, since F16 has the just right performance.

The human factor makes the airplane FAR BETTER. Technology inevitably fails. When the us set up a radar network to automatically launch nukes in response to a possible Soviet first strike they had to stop it launching nukes at Russia when it spotted the moon risinng on radar and interpreted it as a Soviet pre-emptive strike.

[sleeplespsycho]

@vodkasvictim In that case, wouldn't be samrter to use Drones like the predator(Reaper) and such, since they are cheaper than the F16 and you don't loose a pilot if the plane were to get shoot down, which mean less expense in training new pilots. When you take the human factor out of an airplane you can make an even better plane because you don't have to worry about the human physical limitation and requirement. Plz don't take this as an argument, just trying to point out another point of view.

@sleeplespsycho

I said it's smarter to use f16 than f22. Sometimes casualties just have to be accepted.
