The F-22 is superior to any competitor in the air or in pre-production. However, the only way resuming F-22 production makes sense is to allow its export. The initial reason for not doing so may have made sense at the time, but the stealth cat is now out of the bag so technology transfer is no longer an issue.
The F-35’s “god’s eye” has made everything without it obsolete.
“The F-22 is superior to any competitor in the air or in pre-production.”
That is like saying a Ferrari is superior to a pickup.
Apples and oranges.
