Video Clip of the Day: "The F-22 Raptor is Absurd"

What else can the U.S. Air Force F-22A Raptor stealth fighter jet do?

[Sparticus]

Thrust vectoring is awesome!

[Portcall24]

If you watched the entire video you should be asking yourself how vulnerable that platform is at the top of the climb.

[Sequoyah101]

All it takes is fuel and $200,000,000.00

[MtBaldy]

He's never going to do that maneuver in combat. Ask F-15 pilots who have flown against it in combat how vulnerable it is. One foreign pilot, Australian maybe, said, “It's not fair, even if you have visual on it you can't get a weapons lock”. And Odumbo keeping with his plan of hobbling the US military canceled it.

[MtBaldy]

Arrrgh, was supposed to be “flown against it in combat exercises”.

[Portcall24]

My thought would be in DACT the tendency would be to overshoot. Until such time as the acquisition time can be reduced the balance will go to F-22.

And this is the plane the Obama Administration cancelled spending on?

[Principled]

ridiculous ...

is that a plane or a herrier or a chopper?

[BreezyDog]

Thanks, I just spent almost 2 hours watching jet video’s on You Tube:-)

and this is the reason the F-22 was shutdown by 0failure

American success must be stopped at all costs

[Gene Eric]

I had a much better view of the Raptor in flight than shown in the video. In one case, it zipped halfway along the crowd line, and came to a dead stop mid-air. It then slowly descended towards ground level before taking off for the next maneuver.

The F-22 is a testament to U.S. engineering. It’s also an incredibly loud machine.

All I can say is WOW!

[Lancey Howard]

Good to see you checking in.
I hope all is well.

[Semper Fi Mom]

Things are pretty good, thanks for asking. Enjoy FR and want to help where I can.
