They just started flight testing, what isn't working? Proof/facts please, not some armchair generals perspective
"...while proven, overwhelmingly dominating technology (F-22)"
How has the F-22 been "proven"? What enemy has it faced and defeated outside of exercises? Proof/facts please, no armchair generals perspectives or quotes from an exercise.
Neither one of my requests can be answered because neither one of your assumptions is fact.
I really wonder what we'll be saying about the F-35 in 10 years. In the meantime, why don't we wait until the damn thing has started doing weapons testing at Eglin and supporting our troops in combat before we start throwing eggs at the plane.
I truly believe that many of you posting here would have said many of the same things about the F-117 if you had known about it before it came out.
If it has to kill something before being proven, we should give it the same benefit of doubt the USAF gave the F-15, which was 15 years before they blew anything up with it in anger.
