Stealth planes aren’t meant to dog fight.


Guess that leaves out the F-22 and the SU-57

I think it is more along the lines that just because a plane is built to hold its own in a turning fight doesn’t mean it SHOULD get into a turning fight. If you are in a dogfight in an F-22 against a Pakistani F-16, you did something wrong.

An F-22 has a gun for the same reason a tank commander has a pistol; something has gone very wrong.
