“we NEED the F-22.”

Here s an article which explains why we must design and build another new aircraft, and we are not going to be able to purchase anymore F-22 Raptor aircraft:

How quickly could Lockheed “roll out” another F-22 Raptor?

If a destructive war broke out, and the US Air Force absolutely had to have more F-22s as soon as possible (pre-emptive strike, war of attrition, etc), how soon could they get a new one? In essence, how long would it take to retool a factory, train workers, acquire materials, and build an airplane?
