It will be a depressing day in the not too distant future when the PAK-FA and J-20 production lines are humming and the F-22's but a memory.
ReplyDeletestill time to extend the production line.
ReplyDeletefrom what i'm hearing that actually might occur.
don't give up yet.
the only thing i want is to see the airplane product improved. as much as the 'haters' slam the f-35, the f-22 is short legged.
as much as its able to supercruise, its still short legged. it has a lack of sensor fusion and is basically a flying super jet with last century avionics...even the latest Super Hornet international beats it.
Speaking of great photos:

Raptor's production tools are being put away in a fashion that the production line can be reactivated with minimum hassles. Imagine how a 2020-redesigned F22C will look flying and fighting alongside existing 183 F22A.
ReplyDeleteThe US public & military face far more serious and diverse threats than foreign-built LO fighter designs.
