The Russians just unvieled a test version of their newest 5th generation fighter. It looks like a hacked-up F-22.
Regardless, the main point here is that a one size-fits-all approach (F-35) isn’t working...while proven, overwhelmingly dominating technology (F-22) is being effectively shelved for good.

Heckuva job Barry!
They just started flight testing, what isn't working? Proof/facts please, not some armchair generals perspective
"...while proven, overwhelmingly dominating technology (F-22)"
How has the F-22 been "proven"? What enemy has it faced and defeated outside of exercises? Proof/facts please, no armchair generals perspectives or quotes from an exercise.
Neither one of my requests can be answered because neither one of your assumptions is fact.
I really wonder what we'll be saying about the F-35 in 10 years. In the meantime, why don't we wait until the damn thing has started doing weapons testing at Eglin and supporting our troops in combat before we start throwing eggs at the plane.
I truly believe that many of you posting here would have said many of the same things about the F-117 if you had known about it before it came out.
