As the engagement starts, Chinese Flankers outnumber F-22s by 72 to six. The F-22s are also heavily outgunned in the battle. Three Su-27 regiments carry a total of 912 air-to-air missiles, compared with 48 by six F-22s.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to be the first to advocate bringing an old standby back to restore the balance of power in the skies.

Short Range: AIM-2 Genie

The other solution would be to mount a W54 warhead into a modified AMRAAM. 50 pound nuclear warhead with a 1 kilton yield ... bye bye clustered fighters.

“Short Range: AIM-2 Genie”

Only if we get to bring back the F-106 at the same time ;)
