...the F-22 the current ultimate air superiority fighter with demonstrated multirole capability...

It is being force-fed a multirole capacity that it was not designed for reasons of political relevance. It is a Cold War-era fighter with a Cold War-era data architecture that will not accept the most current weapons systems without massive software upgrades and even that may not be enough to field those weapons.

You left out that it is an overpriced and overpraised piece of junk, mostly a political pork jobs program. The cold war is over period!!!
