IIRC, when the F22 was going through trials, they put it up against 4 F15’s. I believe the results were the F15’s all were killed without getting off a shot. Now it is my belief that the F15, a 30 year old plane is still the best warplane in the world, aside from the F22.
Something a friend of mine told me recently was, “I have a $4,000 gaming computer system and I still suck at World of Warcraft.”
It isn’t the plane that makes the man, but the man who makes the plane.
True but a C-130 armed with a bunch of AMRAAMs can shoot down a lot of top end fighters.
