Heck of an amazing machine. 2,000 of those in the military arsenal, and we would have complete air superiority against anyone, anywhere, for the next 20 years. We practically have that at this point, but the F-22 does to other nations air forces what the Sea Wolf did to other nations naval and submarine fleets. It makes them obsolete overnight. I doubt there will be 2,000 of them but it would be nice. The more the better. Replaces all the aging F-15 and F-16s with those, and if it is sturdy enough to handle carrier landings and sea air, and at least one full squadron of them could be carried on each Nimitz carrier, I wouldn't give an ounce of spit for the survivability of anything the Chinese could put to sea or in the air if they decided to start a conflict with us. The Raptor is unbelievable. It's amazing looking at it and knowing it's the most advanced thing to take to the air in human history.
Until the JSF F-35 is in production. Then the F22 will be the second-most advanced thing in the air.
