Hey waynos

Nice to see you back, things were very boring when you were away.

For the record, I am of the opinion that in terms of operational effectiveness the Typhoon is not quite up to F-35 level.

For the A2A superiority role?


Why would you say that?

if this is a bet, I won't incite you to put money on PAF_FA, but some slues show that US air force so worried about the new gen fighter of Russia.

Why they want more F-22 urgently?
Why they always looking forward to refit F-35/
Why they has begun to develop a new generation fighter after F-22?

Some techs on F-22 are not superior now
no all moving VTC
no all moving vertical stabilazer
no LERX to compress the air flow to CARET inlet

What if all of them are used in Su-50?

Because the F-15 which is the backbone of the air superiority fleet of the USAF only has a VERY limited lifespan. Almost all of them are currently grounded because some of them have broken apart in flight this year. If they don't push for more F-22s we're going to have a huge gap in fighter capability.

And they're building the next generation already because if you stand still, you get left behind. You have to be looking way down the road if you want to stay ahead in the game, or even keep up.
