I never did understand...what was wrong with the F-22 Raptor?

Different mission/application?

The F-22 is too awesome, too superior, and too “American”.

Therefore, it is insensitive and will be restricted and eventually mothballed as an imperialistic device.

Flies very fast.
It's economical on fuel
It very stealthy.
It's abilities are way beyond most other fighter aircraft.
It is sleek and beautiful in it's design.
AND.... it actually flies.

Far too expensive per copy, and I suspect not as stealthy as they had hoped and already vulnerable to a number of cheaper, asymmetrical technologies. Though that will, of course, be officially denied.
