half these comments are about the F-22 being superior to the J-10 and yes that most likely is true but i hate to brake it to you (i really don't) but we have stopped making F-22's we only have 180 of them and are not building any more.

Bogus aircraft compared to American aircraft and SUPERIOR flight training.

[Wawaweewaj]

@Wawaweewaj the f-22 can carry 8 air to air missiles internally plus bullets so id say like 12 air planes

[babykevinxoxo]

@Wawaweewaj which is how many 8 at once? and how many rounds can a F22 shoot?

[Wawaweewaj]

@babykevinxoxo bro the amount of j-10's that can be killed by an f-22 is only limited to the about of missiles the f-22 has

[babykevinxoxo]

so can a F22 beat 3 J-10 at once?

This jet was made by the IAI (Israeli air industry) and was aimed to have the same abilities of the f-16 but ended up being superior to it:

it could make sharper turns, carry heavier bombs, was equipped with the state of the art technology and was cheaper to manufacture than the F-16. that lead the US that was the main financial sponsor of the project to refuse to finance it out of fear that other countries will prefer it upon the F-16 and than it was sold to china.

@HSetOSCAR its an Israeli made jet that was called the "Lavi" project back in the 80's, it was aimed to have the same capabilities of the F-16 but ended up being superior to it:

it could carry heavier bombs, make sharper turns, was equipped with the state of the art technology and was cheaper to produce.

that lead the US that was the main financial sponsor to refuse to it out of fear that it will replace the F-16 and propose Israel to sign on an agreement that...

it's a strange military mentality that has highly trained professionals such as pilots marching to their planes like cadets.
