I saw that same show. The pilots of the FA/22 won dogfights against 5 other fighters. Basically, due to the stealth and latest radar/avionics, the FA/22 could blow the other planes out of the sky before they even knew it was there.

Do you happen to have a photo of this new wunderkind?
It sounds awesome.

It ain't cheap, either. I think I saw an Aussie article yesterday quoting $150M.

They're supposedly going with the yet-to-be in service, F-35. That'll only cost $40-50M depending on the version.

BTW, the numbers are per a plane.
