Missiles/radar/satellite webs can easily do whatever the f-22 does for a fraction of the price.

You've made the assertion several times that satellites and other means can replace the F-22, yet where is your proof? Simply stating it does not make it fact.

"Missiles/radar/satellite webs can easily do whatever the f-22 does for a fraction of the price."

Please cite for us these systems of which you speak, and the cost-benefit comparison between them and the F-22. Give examples and numbers, please.

Oh, and cite your bona fides in this area so we can evaluate your opinions.

"Missiles/radar/satellite webs can easily do whatever the F-22 does for a fraction of the price.

After reading through the whole thread, it seems to me you have no idea of what you are talking about. The F-22 is almost deployed and anything in the arena you pronounce to be an equivalent is but technology in it's infancy, and cannot with any reasonable expectation be able to perform the same mission as the F-22.

Instead of endlessly repeating generalized "theoretical" equivilancies comprised of nothing but buzzwords try to offer up some specifics to your beliefs. The F22 is a major leap forward in performance and can literally fly circles around the F15 and F16 if engaged at close range.

And that doesn't even begin to get into the slice of reality having to do with satellite weapons systems already deployed, does it.
