It [the F-22] has the capability to deliver weapons deep inside of China while avoiding air defenses and cruising at supersonic speeds for longer periods than less capable jets.

It has the capability to deliver really tiny weapons deep inside China. The only strike role the F-22 has is for high threat SEAD, taking out SAM sites with little 250 lb. JDAM.

If somebody thinks it is capable of a strike mission, that would explain why they think we need more of these and don't need the JSF. We do need more F-22s, but we also need JSF.

If one has to get cut, then it will have to be the F-22 and we better hope we don't have to fight China.

If an ICBM with MIRV can send a cluster of nukes, why can’t it also send a cluster of conventional bombs?
