As it stands, an F22 pilot has to face several gen4 opponents to get a workout. F22 isn’t magic, but it is a superior craft that only the foolish take lightly.
Information technology has been the
biggest boon for aviation since the 60s and 70s. Now they have a heads up helmet, with intigrated tracking and ID data. If one plane sees a missile, all of them see it, track it, and know who it is engaging. And it is done with a simple icon on the helmet display.
And rumor has it their newest weapon is a radar almost impossible to detect, and able to pulse as an emp weapon to jam or fry an incoming missile.
Low Probability Of Intercept radar. No secret about that. We are not the only one with it. It just switches frequencies really fast and can modify the power output. Hard to detect but not impossible, depends on your sensors.
