UAVs -- I still think the public doesn't trust robots to do it right.
The F-15 isn't carrier ready either and saw heavy use in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The problem is you never know when you may need to take out a missile site or two.
The F-22 and F-35 are complementary aircraft.
“The F-22s big claim to fame is the SAM side not necessarily fighter on fighter.”
What other nations’ fighters are superior to the F-22?
