The F-22’s big claim to fame is the SAM side not necessarily fighter on fighter.

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-22’s big claim to fame is the SAM side not necessarily fighter on fighter.”

What other nations’ fighters are superior to the F-22?
