To you all:
The F-35 is not mission dependent on the F-22 for anything. The F-35 is a smaller F-22 package and even more capable.
They CAN and DO work in concert but are in no way dependent on each other. Uh Humpghggh I’m telling you FACT.
No the F-35 does not need the F-22 to achieve full tactical capabilities. Lets see - I’ve said it 4 times now. I hope it is sinking in.
IMO - we should have built the 800 plus F-22’s to begin with. Combined with the F-35, B-2, F-117 and C-17’s - what on earth more would a country need?
Maybe.
Obama's been saying for two+ years now that he's not going to raise my taxes. Don't quite believe him yet.
