The F-15 has never been shot down by another aircraft in combat.

And they've been in real combat how many times? None?

Have you seen any film footage on the F22?

Are you asking about the F-15?????It's got something like a 95-0 kill record(A good chunk by the Israelis).Started with the Israelis in the 80s-last ones downed by Eagles were 2 Syrian Mig-29s in 2001.

If the F22 is in a sharp turn in combat it can use it moveable engines to turn the nose of the aircraft to point right at the other plane.

It can almost make a right angled turn by moving the tail around with its movable engines.
