I used to think the same but at the end of the day the Raptor really only has it beat in terms of maneuverability while the F-35 bodies it basically everywhere else.

F-35’s avionics are simply another tier while the Raptor has tech from the 80’s. The Panther can take control of allies’ aircraft missiles and ground-to-air rocket launchers/missile silos. That means it may lock on and have another plane shoot a missile at it’s targets. Lock on from the West and guide a missile coming in from another fighter jet to the South to make enemies unclear of where the aircraft is.

Plus it can lock onto other targets without pointing its nose at it so it doesn’t need that much maneuverability to get a tally like the F-22 does. There are cameras at all points around the aircraft so the pilot can see them and lock on. Additionally has better stealth than the Raptor. It’s designed to be a force multiplier that controls the conflict zone.

F-35 vs F-22 is basically like a QB/Point Guard vs WR/Shooting Guard but the point guard is Jokic.

F-22 definitely better for airshows though. The plane is a beauty.
F22 is good in its limited role. Its a air superiority fighter. F35 is great in its role. It can control other stuff and can hit ground targets. You are not sending a F22 after ground targets. You are sending it after enemy aircraft and that's it. F22 will kill you before you even know its there. Dog fighting is a thing of the past, most engagements are going to be BVR. Both are great for what they do, but Fat Amy isn't hanging with the 22.

America don't need tanks........has more than necessary and has had for some time.......explains the constant world wide struggle when you think about it though........to top off modern warfare as the US would conduct it makes tanks nearly obsolete

Yeah, the thing us the F-35 is meant for modern warfare. It can do nearly everything better than the F-22 and the one thing the F-22 is better at it it’s only situationally better and slightly at that because they’re both nearly equally matched BVR and pilot skill/luck can matter on who gets the read.

F-35 really can do just about everything the Raptor can, but the same is not true vice-versa. You can send an F-35 to hit a target regardless if there’s enemy aircraft there and it’ll make it through that area taking down enemy aircraft on the way to hitting its target. Then it can patrol the area and mark other targets for other jets and even take out other fighter jets with other planes’ weapons. Once a Raptor runs out of missiles it’s useless and just wasting fuel. Plus the F-35’s fuel range is a big positive vs the Raptor, especially if the threat will be fought over water.

F-35 is just way more efficient and suitable for modern military challenges and that makes it far superior overall as it stands. If wars were fought in the old school manner against Russia then there’d be more of a place for the Raptor and it did serve it’s purpose for some time. Even then a squadron of F-35’s might straight up clear a squadron full of Raptors during an a2a skirmish, depending on pilot skills.

F-22 is still more advanced than anything any other country has to offer, but i have no problem furthering our military advantage.
But they need to tax the wealthy if they continue to up military spending. Its the one of the biggest money drain economically and a big reason why no matter how many doge cuts they make the economy is alway worse under republican administrations than democratic ones. Allowing the 1% to hoard all the money is not sustainable not matter what alternatives you try.
