Why do you need billion dollar atmospheric weapons when the ones in orbit are already far superior ?

Yeager knows, even if he's 93.

Orbital systems cannot interdict small targets for ground troupes in a timely or cost effective manner. Nor could they prevent enemy atmospheric craft from gaming air supremacy. Your better argument would be drones v piloted air craft.

The F22 is already inferior to the latest disclosed Russian craft. It is a waste.

The Russians are so far ahead technology wise right now, it is crazy.

If you are serious you can find this info. You just want me to post a link you can label as something you'll ignore. You will have no problems finding what you are looking for if you really want to find it.

Seriously dude? Just link what info you think suggests that, because it's also the first I've ever heard that suggested. The Russian fifth generation fighters aren't even being produced yet. They are working on generation 4.5 last I had heard. The F-22 is not "inferior" to anything the Russians have in production and what, pray tell, indicates that the Russians are "so far ahead of us technology wise."

It's incumbent on you to provide support for your own claims, particularly when the claims run contrary to popular opinion.

The best fighter the Russians have ever fielded is the SU35, which is pretty much a Russian F15

Please, person who doesn't know jack shite about military jets and their classified capabilities. Tell me about how much better the Russians are based off of your readings.

Agreed, although I have met several who were very humble and soft spoken. Yeager on the other hand, just seemed to enjoy being an a-hole to certain folks.

They are different fighters for different reasons. The F22 is more of a dogfight fighter. The F35 is the "I'm going to kill you before you even know I am there" fighter.

F-22 versus Sukhoi-35

Let us not be arrogant. We need to truly know where we stand.

The F22 is fricking legit. The F35 is a flying glitch.



I don't understand the hate for the F35. There are glitches that need to be worked out, but it isn't like this is something new. shite happens when you push technology...eventually you get it right, and push it again.

People also fail to realize that American fighter pilots are the best trained in the world.
