“The F-22’s ability to collect and share tactical information with friendly assets enables U.S. and allied forces to engage targets with unmatched battlespace awareness,” says the manufacturer. “The Raptor makes other coalition aircraft more survivable.”

““The F-22’s ability to collect and share tactical information with friendly assets enables U.S. and allied forces to engage targets with unmatched battlespace awareness,” says the manufacturer. “The Raptor makes other coalition aircraft more survivable.”

The F-35 is better in that particular role.

It becomes like a little network of AWACS.

A buddy of mine was a jet AF jet mechanic. War games in Alaska. F-6s versus F22s. F22s were shooting the F-16s as they were taking off.

Everything about the plane is classified. The only cops that know the true capabilities of the planes are the designers, the crews and the pilots.

He told. S that even against F-5s they’d have to modify the rules to make it competitive.

And to think, of the 5 largest air forces in the world, 3 of the top 4 are the USAF, US Navy, US Marine Corps, if I remember correctly.

When Israel was fighting the Syrians, Israeli AF F-5s were shooting down Syrian jets as they were taking off.

Leaf believed that China should “take it as a demonstration of the legitimacy of the American commitment to the region” because it is not cheap to deploy 25 F-22s from two different bases to the Western Pacific.

LOL! Hey China, look how much money we borrowed to fly F-22s in the Western Pacific! Scared yet?

I was wondering why all of the F22s were coming in with external fuel tanks recently..

I certainly hope that Gay and Transgender and Questioning pilots are well represented.

Only so long as the personnel participating are exactly the demographics the lunatic left Generals want and the airmen can still get their CRT lessons.

Will this training operation truly showcase our new pregnancy flight suits? Will it show the Chinese our diversity and inclusion efforts, as well as our priorities to work for CRT and climate change?

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.>>>>>>>

Now prime targets of the Chinese invasion force.

I’m sure all the pilots will be chosen for their ability to check all the “diversity” boxes, and that their actual ability to fly the planes will not even be considered.

Serious question: Does 30 F22s constitute a “large force?” Can they do significant damage to an enemy? (For example, a large unit sea battle such as those seen in WWII?)
