And the winner is ... as if you expected different ... the F-35.

The F-35 is a nice plane in only one category, radar visibility. It is a fine stealth aircraft but once it is seen it is easy to knock out. It is slow, top speed is a third slower than the F-22. It has a very small weapons load out, not even half of the 22 or the 15 for that matter.

The 35 is a compromise aircraft, it is full of compromises because of the reductions in military spending. The US spends about 3/4ths of our spending on transfer payments, or redistribution of wealth. In the 50’s we spent 3/4ths of our spending on defense. The socialists don’t care about defense, they only care about bread and circuses.
