I'm sorry, but the F-22 is the BIG brother...
Exactly. Regardless of this specific issue, the F-22 is the original and superior design.
My opinion: F-22 = today’s F-15. F-35 = today’s F-111.
The Kitchen Sink approach rarely works. It did with the F-110/F-4, but even there, they had to go retro to machine guns to make it work in the field.
