#2 All these idiots gunning for the F-35 fleecing know that the F-22 is the real deal anyways.

Frauds.

#3 Now, newc. Remember, the F35's strength lies in it being more dangerous than any other jet at long distance. Very, very, very long distance, apparently.

#4 No gorb, the F35's strength lies primarily in its unmatched ability to provide pork and graft to the permanent beltway party.

#5 So the F-22 now not only is an air superiority vehicle, but also a bomber and now has electronic jamming and collection abilities as well?
Why it's almost as if the flyboys miss their Aardvarks,
Or have a bad case of Growler envy.
All that's missing is a buddy store....

#8 Yea, well, if there's a war between NATO & Russia: we can use the distraction to convert our neighbors to pacifism.
