if the f22 is truely garbage then i would complain so i could go back to the old timers.

Found the wreckage, no sign of pilot. I bet the pilot took off and has built him a shelter till rescue arrives.
im a little behind the times i guess. What pilots and planes defected to china or russia? sorry for asking a dumb question.
If the pilot did fly it to russia i hope the US has a tracking beacon on it that way they can cruise missle the hell out of the plane and stop it from eventually going to NK or China. I hope the pilot is ok, unless he traded his country for some chinese money.
f22 is not a disaster, it was a project that if it was managed properly would have been an unstoppable plane. But with that being said, i think stealth eagles would be the way to go. But then again with this administration that would make sense and be logical so it will never happen
I couldnt agree with you more. personally i am against using the F35 as our main fighter/attack aircraft. I think having one big huge force made up of one kind of plane is a mistake. If an enemy finds a weakness in the F35, then we only have 187 F22 to deal with the problem. I think they need to cut back from the 2500 F35 they want down to 1000 and use the rest of the money from the other 1500 to make f22.
I do see what you are trying to say. I am in no way saying that china would walk all over us. My fear is that we have people in charge who look at the huge advantage we have now and think that we dont need to keep moving forward, one day we are not going to have the comfort zone militarily we do now
quality only goes so far.. an F15 can surely take down 3 or 4 migs, but outnumber them with 5 or 6, eventually the F15 is gonna lose. samething with subs. Think of it like this. A northern Pike can eat just about any fish it wants, it can even eat a piranha maybe 2 or 3 of them, but get 5 or 6 pirahna the Northern pike loses.
Does anyone know if the F15 Stealth Eagle will be marketed to the US, i think this would be a better option then the F35. The F15 is a proven airframe and the F35 seems to be full of bugs. and Second, i hate the F22 is cancelled, Does anyone think it will ever get put into production again. It bothers me to think that obabm has cancelled such a great plane when russia and china are pursuing there 5th gen fighter
oh yeah, forgot about that. good point
