hi E... ' F-15 is more faster speeding than both F-22 / F-35

I saw an F16, a harrier, and I think a commercial plane also.

@@bestamerica So uuum, does it matter at all? The F15 is getting outdated and even if efforts to upgrade it are well on their way the air frame it self is outdated. It lacks stealth and a lot of other things to compete with state of the art fighters, maybe it's the superior aircraft in a dogfight, however that's not what defines a great aircraft anymore.

it is not invincible, and like any aircraft, it can be vulnerable to damage or destruction in certain circumstances. In fact, there have been a few instances of F-22 accidents and incidents over the years, including one crash in 2020 that resulted in the loss of an F-22 and the tragic death of the pilot. While the F-22 is designed to be highly maneuverable and stealthy, it still faces risks from factors such as enemy fire, mechanical failures, and pilot error. It's important to maintain a realistic understanding of the capabilities and limitations of any technology, including advanced military aircraft like the F-22. While it is certainly an impressive piece of engineering, it is not infallible and can be vulnerable in certain circumstances. there have been no confirmed reports of an F-22 being shot down by enemy fire during combat operations. However, there have been instances where F-22s have been forced to withdraw from combat due to technical problems or other factors, and there have also been instances where F-22s have been involved in non-combat accidents or incidents. It's important to note that the exact details of military operations and incidents involving advanced aircraft like the F-22 are often classified, so it's possible that there have been incidents that have not been publicly disclosed.

No F-22’s have ever been lost as a result of combat damage. Some have been lost due to accidents or mechanical problems but not that many. A total of 187 were built and put into service initially. I’m not sure how many exactly have been damaged to the point of total loss but I know some have due to damage sustained in an accident/crash.

​@@thenutsonyourchinIt has to go to a battlefield first, before anything else. That's why none ever have been shot down, simply, because they never went on a battlefield.

​@@JG54206Yes sure, no F22 ever went in a real combat situation, so not difficult to keep the statistics in a good shapes.

@@kasugakyosuke6441 No F-15’s have ever lost an air to air engagement either, and they’ve been involved in tons so what makes you think the F-22 will? Every time there’s the possibility of an engagement for it, the enemy plane runs off, usually after the F-22 gets so close that the enemy pilot sees it visually… which is long after the F-22 could have killed the other plane.

no. That would be the F-35. The F-22 is a master of air-to-air, not a jack of all trades like it's younger brother.

agree

This must mean the Gen 6 is well under way and will make the Raptor obsolete.

F22 will always be useful against nations that only possess 4th gen aircraft and have no ground based counter stealth radars.

The only reason that would be out to the public is if the military has already developed something for the next gen. They most likely have their fighter for the next generation already. It's also funny knowing that despite all the counter intelligence from China and Russia, their 5th gen planes aren't perfect and have recently had engine problems. They may be copying but their in no way anywhere close to what the US does. We pretty much set the precedent for what defense is and looks like, while everyone else in the world is left stuck trying to compete with and emulate things that the US already considers obsolete. The military knows that winning the arms race is the key for dominance and being a gen ahead of everyone is the perfect way to assure that

@@JB-wg8id LOL stop talking GARBAGE. What do you mean no where Close? When Both Russia and China are AHEAD of the US military in several areas of technology..

You probably will get no lock on radar, plus the f22 will know who you are before you do see him on radar, if you do..by then the f22 is shooting missile. What most people don't understand is the avionics on the f22.. the ability for the f22 to detect enemies without them knowing that a radar has lock on them, is priceless in war..

Exept on most of the fight between f22 and similar plane both plane get destroyed in 9/10 case. The oposing plane dont need to survive the fight, just live long enough until it send a missile on the f22...

That’s called 5th generation BVR (Beyond Visual Range) engagement, but 4th generation fighters can also do that and also be undetected, such as euro fighter, f18, etc. it’s performance in bvr compared to the F-22 though, isn’t anything much, the f-22 is unmatched.

Dam 90 miles that’s crazy

90 miles is pretty far. Are u exaggerating? Guess not. The F-22 is equipped with multiple sensors including the AN/APG-77 radar, which is designed to detect and track enemy aircraft at long ranges. According to publicly available information, the AN/APG-77 radar is capable of detecting and tracking targets at ranges of over 125 miles (200 km) in optimal conditions. However, actual detection ranges can vary depending on factors such as the size and altitude of the target, the environment (such as weather conditions), and the capabilities of the radar system used by the adversary.

More like: Lead Pilot-"HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THAT MISSLE LOCK COME FROM?!" Wingman-"I don't know, I'm not picking anything up on radar!" Lead Pilot-"I'm not either. SHIT ANOTHER MISSLE LOCK!!" Wingman-" I'VE BEEN LOCKED TOO! WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?!" .....BOOM! BOOM! Raptor Pilot "Splash two, headed back to base."

Oh. Here we have another person apparently on the national defense panel making the decision. Watching KZfaq videos of claims of such things does not make you an expert. The stealth wasn't better, the cost was more even though the raptor ended up being way more expensive. The speed wasn't quite as high but the added speed was unnecessary as 1.8 super cruise was more than enough.

The F-22 was superior at dogfighting, that's why it was chosen.

@@fishtailfuture He's not wrong though. Lockheed took advantage of a far better standing with the US Dept. of Defense and Congress, mainly due to production issues Northrop was having with regard to B-2 Spirit bombers. Congress felt Lockheed had a better chance at fulfilling production quotas and keep quality high. Strictly from a design perspective, the YF-22 was quite a bit faster, as well as stealthier, than the YF-22. The YF-22 was a more maneuverable aircraft, and concerns with Russia's focus on supermaneuverable thrust-vectoring capable aircraft, as well as AoA (Angle of Attack) experiments conducted with aircraft such as the F-15 ACTIVE, made that a bigger determiner rather than speed. In addition, being a fighter focused more on air superiority rather than the tactical fighter role (despite the program being called the Advanced Tactical Fighter), a tradeoff in stealth and speed was acceptable. Typical air combat engagements that proceed past AMRAAM BVR range slow down quickly to Mach 1.2, transonic, or even subsonic, quickly following the merge and if the YF-22 was lucky, into a two-circle rate-fight. Thus the additional speed was unnecessary. Ultimately though, the YF-23 was on paper a better fighter than the YF-22, so it came down to a political and financial decision.

No offence but the YF-23 has equal if not better maneuverability

Do you think if given more time to mature the YF-23 could have been more competitive?

@@dragoonTT Yes, and I will tell you something you wont here anywhere. I know because one of the guys on my time was hired to look into it. There was a design for a larger version of Yf-23 to be used as medium size stealth tactical bomber. And that was last I heard about it. But as far as a air-superiority fighter the Big Tail F-22 could out fly it without a doubt.

War Happens-com that’s really interesting. Just goes to show how cutthroat these bids are. From small-arms to multi role jet fighters it’s a crazy game of politics, money and hard work from the engineering teams.

They had more faith in Lockheed than Northrop. For it's purpose the Yf-23 was the better jet but the fall of the Soviet Union and declining defense budget they didn't want to risk Northrop going over budget on the project the Yf-23 was faster and Stealthie, but likely more expensive and a bit of a risk financially. F-22 and Lockheed were the safer pick and in hindsight looks like probably the right choice since the F-22 hasn't done much but be a deterrent.

actually the f22 was malfunctioning repeatedly at the time.

Those are elevators.

Thanks captain obvious

If it's dropping bombs on you, you already failed to stop it.

Go for it

Yeah this jet wasnt even used in combat, its made for a modern air force, with 5th gen fighters. When really those countries only now have that technoladgy (not as stealthy), and in case of war, you would be talking nukes. Really the f22 it a display of power and tech, and i love it

"You are in a ways right russia is producing a fixed nozzle with checkmate , but that’s because it’s got two great multirole fighters already in service ." Russia is never going to make the Su-75 Femboy. For one: Russia is completely broke. Two: Russia can't even make T-14s. Three: Russia can't even make Su-57s. Four: Russia can't even make a good jet that competes with contemporary Western jets. All Russia is going to do with the Femboy is harp on and on and on about how superior it is to the F-35... while only having a plywood mockup. If they manage to make a working model (which I am highly doubtful they will ever manage to do) if it ever goes into combat it will be immediately shot down by a 50 year old F-15 because it turns out they lied about the effectiveness of its stealth and capabilities... as Russia does... with every single piece of its equipment... "The f22 is out of production and the f35 putin already fried 3 with the big switch off in the sky ha ha" I'm not sure if you're actually trying to say that Putin has shot down three F-35s (he hasn't. No one has shot down the F-35. To this day, the only manned stealth aircraft that has been lost through a shoot down has been a single F-117 in Serbia) or the lightning issue... which was fixed by toughening the module that was vulnerable to lightning strikes. Either way, no. Putin has never shot down an F-35 and the F-35 would obliterate any Russian jet it came into contact with because Russian jets aren't good.
