F-22 Raptor: The Ultimate King of Air Supremacy

"Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me"
F-22

In other words, it's too good.

is "Air Supremacy" even possible if enemy has layered air defense?
I guess once USA starts war with China we will find out how that happens.

Sure, Raptor is too expensive at 70 billion for the project, while Fat Amy has gone well over a TRILLION.

Using F-22 Raptors to drop bombs on ISIS positions is sort of like the Yautja using its shoulder canon to zap mosquitos.

as an f22, I can confirm I'm awesome.

hahahahhahahaha modularity!!! :P yeah.... wonder why it wasn't designed with modularity in mind hahahahahha

With flying machines being only 120 years old as of 2023, the advancements and technology of them are truly mind numbing. Imagine if world famine problems had been focused on with the same intensity and fervor... 👍🇺🇸

"Deadliest fighter of all time"
*only air-to-air kills are on unarmed balloons

I'm unsure if this is true or not. But I read that the F-22 is being retired because nothing can communicate data with the F-22 and vice versa, and also, the F-22 can't be updated to communicate. Unlike the F-35, which can communicate with drones and other air crafts and equipment on the battle field.

Radar absorbing materials are made by glitter companies, it is classified info though so shhhh :D

The F-22 won’t see upgrades because there’s far too much money to be dished out on over-bloated new contracts. The F-35 program has become an almost comical money sink.

It's funny, in boxing the punches that knock you out or hurt the most are the ones you never see coming. The F22 is like the Mike Tyson of fighter jets.

So much better than overhyped f15s n 16s everybody jerks themselves on about..
"iTs aN aMazInG bUdGeT fighteR" 😪

The Raptor that loves popping balloons.

Su57 is the most dangerous fighter jet in the world

My favorite part was when he threw in the thrust vectoring as an afterthought 😅

What a giant waste of money

It’s a great plane but I’m not onboard with the idea that it can completely replace the A-10 for close air support

"Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me". -F22

Oh soy eggman...200M+ propaganda plane is just a S-500 feed.

They went, "lol u ded, gtfo"

Ok I'm starting to wonder about the "capabilities that aren't allowed in training or demonstration"...how do they even know those capabilities exist if they've never use, train, or demonstrate them...and would whatever those capabilities are even work in a real war without any practice or training or do they just hope and pray that the capabilities will reveal themselves in that time of need

what about iranians saying we detect f35 and f22 from 300 kilometer away ??!! what about their heat signature ?

Yep…all I can say is yep

The pilot's radio message was classic "You really ought to go home." Being able to show mercy might seem like weakness to some, but it is actually the highest sign of strength for any warrior.

If there’s one thing to say primary about LockHeed Martin it’s that they know how to develop and utilize destructive vehicles.

No mention of John Boyd. The man who set Kelly on the correct path to create this demon. Forty Second Boyd, Genghis John, The Mad Major, The Ghetto Colonel, all names given to one man, the father of modern aviation.

still the best looking fighter jet, the F35 looks bloated

The supreme air superiority fighter, whose only air-air combat kill is a Chinese balloon,and it took several missiles to take it down

Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me...

Look into the 3.2 upgrade.

Would you intercept me?!?!? Uuuugghh I’d intercept me!!!

We can't export the F22; it's too advanced.

Let's export the F35; it's even more advanced.

It's a fantastic machine. Makes me proud to be an American. I have nothing but respect for our service men and women. Now, if we could just get the funding for school and healthcare figured out...

Conspiracy time! F-22 secrets are under such a lock and key because it includes alien tech. The aliens have paint or tech that isn't visable by radars, they've shared some or we sourced it from their vehicles and we came up with the F-22, which is why congress talked about aliens, and not f-22 tech that could be sold to other Nato allies. I was sane once...

Today years old. Budget or not? This thing is unreal.

Test it against su-57 and j-20, then you can say its the best, till now you tested it with sheep keepers and ballons only

122 diagonals on delivery

Thus, $400 million was each spent to combat mere herdsmen and a handful of balloons. Isn't this the pinnacle of imperialist capitalism? Even vintage jets from the '70s, like the F15 or F16, could have easily handled the task. That staggering $70 billion could have been effectively channeled into NASA for vital scientific research and space exploration, with ample funds left over to enhance a woefully inadequate social security system.

F22 is like Einstein in a primary school physics. It simply too superior that it waste itself away.

No point putting so much resources on being the best when no one is even close to beating you.

🇺🇸 💪🏻

Would you intercept me? I'd intercept me.

She’s such a pretty bird

Air superiority, not supremacy. Although it sounds nice too

😮We got kicked outta Afghanistan...
Billion dollar F22 super fighters didn't help!

The Agile Evil Spy Balloon😂😂😂

Propaganda here.
Last year, the DOD failed its fifth audit and was unable to account for over half of its assets, which are in excess of $3.1 trillion, or roughly 78 percent of the entire federal government.
