It’s awesome we have this type of air power... but where will we use these jets? I’m impressed by their capabilities... I just have my doubts they’ll ever be used to their fullest potential. Any thoughts out there?
Their fullest potential and the fact that we have them is the very reason that potential may never have to be used.
I don’t think they’ll ever be used to their full potential, because nobody else makes or will make an adversary fighter that performs well enough to require the F-22 to fly at its limit. Of course, that’s the idea behind a vigorous defense program: make it so obvious we’re the 800lb gorilla that nobody will challenge us.
