IIRC, the old argument against the F22 was that the F22 didn't really have a mission since there were no relevant adversaries. Seems like a lot has changed in 10 years.

“its performance is not satisfactory.”

Uh, did she point out where the F-22 is unsatisfactory? No? That’s what I thought! ;-)

Too bad we didn’t go with the YF-23.
Just my opinion.

I don’t believe the ChiCom’s can build the engine. We are so many years ahead that the F22 will be a legacy aircraft before the J20 is perfected.

It is all avionics and BVR. The flight profile for air superiority is no longer dogfighting.

This is Li Li’s opinion. What does her brother Pi Pi think?

Isn’t it great that we helped make them become the dominant economic power on Earth?

Something they were incapable of 30 years ago?

Was supposed to make them LESS of a threat.

That worked out real well, huh?

Come on President Trump. Restart the F22 program. The most awesome bird there is.
