The F-35 & F-22 are primarily intended as BVR fighters. But the F-22 retains the agility to yank & bank like a legacy fighter. What it gives up is any meaningful air-2-mud capability.
That is where the F-35 supposedly comes in. It trades agility for a wider weapons array. But, man, that BVR capability had better work!
Well, if the BVR doesn’t’ t work properly the Pentagon can always blame the Russians but our pilots are going to be SOL.
