“We can still put 150 of them in the air, downing AT LEAST 900 enemy aircraft with each sortie...if we can find them.”

How do you come up with these numbers? What are your kill assumptions based on?

Thanks.

For its primary air-to-air role, the F-22 carries six AIM-120D and two AIM-9 missiles. And the RADAR/Fire Control to back it up.

Six, 100+ mile range, fire and forget missiles and two short-range if they ever found themselves in a dog fight. Very unlikely.

Highest ceiling. Highest speed. Greatest range. Highest maneuverability. All US space sensors and AWACS fully integrated.

Yeah, 150 of them could easily take out 900 bandits with zero losses.
