When Just One F-22 Fought Five F-15 Eagles

- In March 2003, the American Air Force was done with all the F-22 haters, who were repeatedly saying that the F-15 Eagle was sufficient enough to grant the US aerial victories in the skies of the 21st century! The USAF decided to deploy five F-15 Eagles with aviators who themselves were experienced F-22 pilots against just one F-22, so what happened next? When all six jets landed after a fight, all the F-22 Raptor haters were speechless! Despite the F-15 Eagles giving it their all, the F-22 Raptor shot down each and every one of them.

The F-22 pilot was Tom Cruise. nuff said.
Heck 😅😂😂
Haha
Uhhhh. He didn’t fly an f22 in the movie
The pilot was Chuck Norris fools.
I don't think so, that would not be happening
If you’re flying and see an F22, that’s a good thing. It means you’re not the target!
EXACTLY!
Go to your song.... Track me please 💃💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺 I'm gonna play a song for you
Breathe a sigh of relief that starscream isn't coming for me
Or that he wants to get a good look at your face before he shoots you. Just give you a little scare, ya know? 😂
I talked with one of those F-15 jocks about that one day, and in a nutshell, he said “Thank God they’re ours.”
Considering it wasn't the firs training exercise he should have shut up when the F-15 scored 1 kill out of 43 engagements and was shot down by the F-22 the other 42 times.
Fact is any aircraft can be shot down but the F-22 has a much better chance of shooting down whatever it's up against before it can shoot the F-22 down. This 5 v 1 proved nothing the rest of the Air Force didn't already know from previous training exercises.
@KarKenon Actually the F-22 isn't cheaper to produce. Because at this point producing more F-22s requires converting entire assembly lines and manufacturing all of the parts.
Remember the US stopped manufacturing F-22s at 195 (8 test and 187 production aircraft).
The US still produced 525 F-15E's and the Air Force has considered building 200 F-15EX's .
Now counting all models of the F-15 would be a total of 1,198 built. Operators include the US, Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia .
So the F-15 is still in production. Unlike the F-22 which was all but replaced by the F-35. And will most likely be replaced by the NGAD fighter they are working on. With its only real air to air kills being a balloon.
And yes I know the reasons no one wants to tango with the F-22 Raptor. But at the end of the day the F-22s replaced is in the works. Meanwhile the F-15 is still going to be flying. I guess a real world combat record of 1 balloon to 0 isn't shit compared to 104 downed enemy aircraft to 0 times shot down. Including that time, an F-15 took out a Mi24 Hind helicopter with a 2,000lb laser guided bomb in the air.
Yeah the F-22 is supposed to be retired in 2030. The F-15EX will still be flying. As will the older F15E's granted the older F15E's won't be flown by the US. But they will still be flying.
@@KarKenonthe mustanf and corsair fighters are even cheaper to maintain, sjould we switch back to those?
@KarKenon Producing the F-15s would be quicker than the F-22s . Because the company that makes the F-15s never stopped making them or their parts.
So in either case your wrong.
Now you already explained the reason your wrong in your own statement.
The Procurement of the F-22 Raptors was canceled at 195. 8 of which were used in testing , 187 of them entered service. Currently the USAF has 186 of them. With no new production planned. The assembly lines that were used to make the F-22 are now used to produce the F-35.
@KarKenon Quantity over Quality guy eh? So do you also like Imperial doctrine of using swarm tactics with cheap expandable craft like the TIE/ln space superiority starfighters?
The crazy thing is that the f-15 has a perfect combat record👀
And the F-22 is what they build after 30 years of experience with the F-15
I mean technically so does the F22.
That just says a lot about the fine pilots they train
@@RRtradestar Given that most of the F-15's combat kills have been made by Israeli pilots, rather than Americans, it says quite a bit about the plane itself, since we know that it's been successful for *everyone* who's flown it, not just for the people who made it.

Which is pretty much the Raptor's mission statement.
Exactly 😊

Also F22: "Additionally you can't match my turning rate without ripping your own wings off, and even if you _can_ see me, your AMRAAMs won't achieve a positive lock in the final intercept phase, so... bet.

The Eagles never stood a chance because they weren’t allowed to engage the raptor, just told to get in the air and wait to be told they were dead.

It's fake blud you really believe we.would shoot down our own f 15 for a point
VERSIONS MATTER
I noticed they didn't put forth the version of the F-15 Strike Eagle! 😮
Maybe not in a dogfight....but in a speed race the f15 is still king of its domain
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
The f15 and the f22 are two different ways of reminding America’s enemies.The f15 is the jet the US sends when they want you to see the beat down, it’s maneuverable and fast. The f22 is sent when they want to install absolute terror, you never see IT on radar, but you have to sit there and watch helplessly as each and every jet you have vanish one by one until none remain. Both are exceptional jets in their own ways. Both send the same meaning.
wrong.. they send f22's to shoot down air balloons.
its the usa biggest waste of money along with their expensive carriers wich will become obsolete with upcoming hypersonic cruise missiles.
the usa is a show of force, and other countries are finding ways to counter that.
Well said.
Gen 5 pilots can see the Raptor, and track the Raptor, but cannot get a misslie lock on a Raptor using high frequency targeting radar. It must be frustrating as he**.
@@LeeBrown-zi4bhexactly the point of stealth. Stealth never meant invisible. It meant if you're lucky enough to even get radar acquisition (low freq) good effin luck maintaining a weapons grade lock (high freq). The uninformed worry about those long range missiles with like 200+mile range but they're a joke cause it provides too much time to bail on it if it's even got battery power left
well the f22 has never had to shoot anything down yet
F22 "would u engage me, I'd engage me"😅😂
Which F-22 "haters" is he talking about? The thing is universally loved in the US.
Those who don't believe it's worth the hefty price tag. No-one disagrees that it's staggeringly good, they just didn't agree that it was necessary. This showed them the error of their assumptions.

BVRs exist
F35
It is a great plane, but drones will get them. 100% guarantee, and soon!
Whatever an F22 can do, it’s smaller and much cheaper unmanned stealth drone can do it way better.
Therefore the F 35 is a total waste of money.
I’m really curious as to why you think drones will fully replace planes and the F-35 is a waste. Drone’s are certainly effective, but they fulfill a different purpose than planes do from what I’ve seen and understand. Not opposed to them being more prominent, but I don’t think their existence invalidates the F-35
@@zeroth88 Whatever the the 6th gen air superiority platform ends up being, it's very likely to be a drone. At this point of technological progression, the pilot is the limiting factor in the F22, and drones that can do what an F22 can without needing to have a pilot inside of them will win engagements against manned fighters, in much the way a missile typically wins versus the maneuverability of a plane.
But that doesn't mean manned stealth fighters will go obsolete, by any stretch. Having, "boots in the sky," so to speak, offers a significant advantage to situational awareness and critical response time in actual operational zones.
Very likely we will see the F35 continue to be used as a "strike-spotter" platform and act as the manned guide for unmanned air superiority fighters, taking advantage of the in-the-moment problem solving capabilities that a human brings to the table, as well as the fact that a major role of the F35 in the first place is simply to be an invisible aerial sensor suite. Sure it carries weapons, but in real world combat the most useful aspect of the F35 is the ability to get a very close look at what your enemies are doing without them being able to do anything about it.
Being able to accurately call the shots is far more important than being specifically in the vehicle that's making them, and this is theorized to be how the F35 is intended to be used in real combat anyway. It's not designed to excel at dogfights the way the F22 is, so instead they'll likely operate in wolfpacks, and send one plane ahead of the group to scout targets. Using sensor fusion, the person who acquires the target can then call for strikes from the other fighters in the group, (even if they're too far away to get a solid lock themselves,) limiting its own exposure and even curtailing some of the risks of making a BVR attack by having someone who's close enough to actually see the target.
It's a very different mindset than what the F22 does, and the F35 is by no means a direct replacement for the F22. By extension, while it makes sense that drones eventually _will_ replace the F22, they don't make sense to replace the F35, as its use case has different requirements that rely on more actual decision making from the pilot.
Pretty sure it wasn't a dogfight. Can't call it a dog fight when one side didn't even see their enemy.
True, but it wasn't a dogfight. All eagle kills were BVR, they never got remotely close enough to dogfight. That is remarkable, because the F15 is one of the best BVR air superiority fighters on the planet with a perfect K/D ratio. THAT is just how amazing the F22 is.
Strictly speaking, if a Raptor or Lighning II pilot gets in a dogfight, he effed up.
Yea he has to shoot them down before they are to close or just don't be detected by the enemies@@jacobmccandles1767
You ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
@jacobmccandles1767 true. In the standard scenario the f22 is an Air supremacy fighter. It's job it to make it so only US and allied aircraft can operate in the area.
The f15 is an Air superiority fighter. Able to operate without prohibitive interference. You send 22s when you want to make a point. The point being you are very alone on the ground and you exist because we allow it
@@saber5694 in their day they both did the same thing: Scrub the sky of enemy aircraft. The F-15 by virtue of it's large salvo of all-aspect missiles, and the F-22 by a smaller payload delivered via stealth.
Both can dogfight, but it is technically an error if either one gets into such a scenario. Other countries have matched the capability, if not the record of the Eagle. The F-22 was the next logical step.
Can't fight what you dont know you're in a fight against.
Most understated comment

@@pug_knight7756 I believe he means in a combat scenario, the enemy wouldn't even know what locked them since it's BVR and not on Radar. Could be any number of planes or even SAM. It's basically fighting nothing while trying to dodge missiles.

What if you can travel in space and just skip the F22 air dominance?
Yes, but also, one of Raptor's main strengths was/is its maneuverability, which arguably isn't as important to today's mission as much as its stealth is. If we can create more sluggish aircraft for cheaper with more stealth, better sensors, and more focus on the BVR capabilities, then there really isn't a need for the more expensive raptor, even if it is a beast (and my favorite fighter after Viper).
There are no fighters any more. These are weapons platforms. They can't out turn a missile and haven't for 30 years
Sounds like you’re describing a B-21.
@@greatclantoni F-35
"WE the People" say build'em...!
Agreed
They quit building them because they were too expensive 😢. only a few hundred were made. The F-35 does the same thing the f22 can do as well as be a sufficient ground support aircraft. the us has been working on making a do all aircraft for years and the f-35 is one of the first to fit that. a MBA so to speak like MBT
@@bassboss1234 The issue with cancelling production early is that it drives per unit cost up. Had they kept manufacturing Raptors they would have been nearly the same price as the F-35’s today.
The F-35 is NOT an air superiority fighter. While it is capable, the Raptor exceeds its abilities. It has superior kinematics including astronomically better top speed, and supercruise ability, both of which make it a much better BVR fighter. In close it is much more maneuverable, being a better dog fighter in all aspects. So no, the F-35 does not do everything the Raptor can do.
@@Mobius118 I never said it could, I said the F-35 is multi role which is more what the US wants. You don’t really need to have a superior speed and maneuverability if your missiles and radar can track and hit a target 20 miles away. the f22 cant attack ground targets as sufficiently as the F35 can. The f-35 is also aircraft carrier capable which is big when operating in enemy territory because it’s not a stationary target that can be captured/ destroyed easily. like I said in the first place, the US wants a Do all plane, not 20 specialized aircraft
@@bassboss1234 - The F-35 has been a bit of a disappointment TBH. It's definitely not *bad* but it's not nearly all it was cracked up to be while also going way over budget. The USAF has always had a minimum 2-tier system of aircraft. It would have been better, IMO, to build out the full fleet of F22s and made the F35 a multi-role for everything except air superiority. That would neatly replace the F15 and F16 on the ground, and the F35 could also (mostly) replace the F18 in the Navy. Just my opinion...
To be the best, you have to be at the best. Go Raptor!

@@AtomicBlastPony it's actually possible to detect and track non-stealth aircraft using totally passive signals like nearby radio towers. People have managed to build passive "radar" using off the shelf commercial stuff in the USA and track aircraft using signal reflections from commerical radio towers.
I suspect the military has even better capabilities. Also, I'm fairly certain that some radar guided missiles can use data links from other radars including large area radars like AWACS allowing the shooter to stay nice and stealthy.
We need to remodify the F-22 with upgraded radar and communication so they can link up with other US fighters
They are going to start upgrading some of the F-22 fleet with vastly improved computers and avionics included Link-16, upgraded radar and EW ability, and off-boresight IR missile capability among other improvements while others will go into protected storage like the F-117 (partially disassembled and placed in climate controlled hangars) ready to be rapidly upgraded and returned to the fleet in case they are needed.
Already doing that with next gen fighters..
In development
Ain't it retired? Or they just stopped producing and improvise the ones they still have
The F-22 has a design that is difficult to upgrade, this is why the design of the F-35 is designed to be easy to upgrade.

Nixon actually had beaten the NVA, bringing them to peace talks, but when Watergate occurred (brought on by media that we didn't know then was controlled by liberals, but we know it now), Democrats took control of Congress, and took away any funding for the South Vietnamese military, as we were pulling our troops out of there. But the NVA were fully funded by the Soviet Union, and had heavy weapons, which the South Vietnamese military did not. And so we won the war, but lost the country, due to Democratic Party and liberal interference and the emasculated of a Republican president. And FDR? That Democrat nearly DESTROYED our military, from 1932 to 1940, while pursuing failed New Deal socialist policies. Only on May 28, 1940, when the British were struggling to get off the beaches of a vanquished France at Dunkirk, did he call upon the greatest American Republican capitalist of the time, to place him in charge of all weapons production in the U.S. FDR went against the advice of all of his advisors, and even his own wife, and appointed William Knudsen, an avowed Republican who had made G.M. the #1 industrial corporation in the world, at the time. And this great unknown American hero proceeded to BURY all of our enemies in WWII, by leading a massive profit-driven production of aircraft, ships, tanks, guns, and all other weapons, supplies and equipment, enabling us to win that war. If only another dumb-ass Democrat like Joe Biden, would ask for help in his failing administration, from another great Republican businessman, like FDR did, maybe this country would get better, and our military would get strong, again. But, dumb Joe keeps on ignoring the excellent policies of Donald J. Trump, instead of following them--and so everything keeps getting f'd up, in this country. Our enemies abroad are practically laughing at us, now--because Democratic presidents have a policy of weakening our military, in favor of their "social" policies and programs--or just running away, like in Afghanistan. No War in Ukraine started under our last Republican president, because he kept our military strong--and wasn't afraid to use it. Democrats just have a bad history, weakening our military...
How about that ole Kennedy feller?
Don’t bring a potato masher to a gun fight
Or don't bring a 20mm canon to a long range missile fight!
They are both excellent in their roles, the F-15 is a fighter. "Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee." F-22 is it's grandson who took the lessons the F-15 learned and added stealth and extended range weapons. It's whole thing, is to strike first and leave a tiny radar blip so the enemy doesn't know what hit them.
Maverick: "It's not the plane. It's the pilot."
That's only true to a certain extent. Pretty sure that Maverick wouldn't stand a chance against an F22 if he was flying a Spitfire.
If the Generation is the same. Of the plane - not the pilot.
Knowing his routine a well trained rookie will be able to pull this off in a F22 against 5 Eagle Veterans - just because of the plane.
It was Rooster who said that, Maverick knew that 4th gen or 4.5 gen like the Block III Super Hornets will never beat a Raptor in any engagement.
In the movie he pretty much had every advantage. His IFF was sending friendly signals to the SU-57s, he had the initiative, he was at point blank visual range, SU-57s are pretty shit when it comes to 5th gen aircraft, and likely has trained for years playing the role of aggressor against the US' own 5th gen aircraft.
The F 15 pilots were all experienced senior pilots who had been promoted from the F 15 to the F 22. So those pilots knew all the tricks of both planes.
In this particular case, it was the plane.
I know that the f-15 cant keep up with the 5th gen stealth fighters but the f-15 is still a badass jet and it looks better than any other jet, when most people think about a fighter jet they usually picture the f-15 just because its so fucking iconic
You got that right! I was at an F-4 base overseas way back when, and those are pretty iconic, too. When first released, they sent the first F-15s to show the flag around the world in Bicentennial livery. They came to our base and man! Those were beautiful birds!
Yes they are nice, but my favorite is the Navy Tomcat F-14. When it is tied down on the Flightdeck and you are looking straight at the nose, the Jet looks like an Eagle (not the F-15) but a real Eagle.....
F-16 is the most raw dogfighter built
@@nomoreprospecting Yeah, I love their crouch.
The F-23 still has air superiority. Bribery doesn't change physics.
Haters: “F15 is the best fighter and needs no improvement.”
F22: “Hold my beer”
Experienced f22 pilots 💀
Wtf happened to f15 pilots
Exactly. That’s like putting a Formula One driver in a NASCAR and acting like that makes it “ more fairer” When the Formula One smokes them in the straightaway.
To pilot the F-22 you have to be the upper echelon of F-15 pilots. It's basically a promotion.
You think they just put random folks into the F-22 cockpit? I swear it's like no one ever taught y'all how to use your brain for any type of critical thinking whatsoever.
The F22-Raptor is such an absurdly superior fighter that its production ended 13 years ago and its main competitor hasn't even entered the operational phase yet. As a pilot once said, the fight between an F15 and an F22 is like a soccer match between two teams. But one of them is invisible...
If the F15s never saw the F22 then don't call it a dogfight
Exactly! What a complete nonsense. Dogfight 🤡🤡🤡
yeah, that’s a slaughter.
That's the modern dogfight. Over-the-horizon kills. However, the 22 is ridiculously maneuverable AND has a gun, so those good, old fashioned, "chase them around" close-in classic dogfights are doable.
If we did dogfights the way you want us to do them, we’d still be flying P51’s.
The F22 does get used in dogfights during training though. (Like, starting at close range and putting radar reflectors on the F22 and everything. F22 pilots get trained to fight at close range even if it's unlikely one of those fights would ever happen like that in real life.)
The F15 doesn't come close. (Remember that the F15 was designed before the concept of supermaneuverability even existed, and the first testbed prototype _for_ the concept was an improved F15 with canards and thrust vectoring, and the lessons learned from that were then employed in designing the F22. From the ground up the F22 was designed to be better at dogfighting than the F15 because it is capable of doing things that are _impossible_ for the standard model of F15.) The only things in the US arsenal that do, apparently, are F16s flying fully clean and starting at altitude so that they can trade it for maneuverability until they get to the ground, (at which point the F22 simply out-powers it, regains the altitude faster, and wins.)
Don’t forget Mr. Cruise’s F-14 Tomcat is and always will be one of the greatest weapons platforms created
Specifically Mavericks. That thing could beat two well maintained SU-57's(Which will never actually exist) while in poor condition itself.
@@WildmanTrading well maintained and su57 should never be spoken in the same sentence
Having been one of the folks that put the 14 to bed, and have been in the flight line with both tobcats and raptors, watching the sun go down every day, I can say I'd never put a 14 against a 22.
I love my Tomcats, but the 22 is a different beast entirely.
@@charlescarmichael1124😂
And his Tomcat is 2nd place to his Ninja!
That's why it's called the king of fighter jets.
The F-15 Eagle was the best there was for "many" years, until the F22 Raptor came along.
If Whispering Death had a name...
Yes , but no one of them was MAVERIC😂😂😂😂
Then Imagine Maveric in an F22..............
The F-22 is unbelievably sexy (not to mention capable). It’s no SR-71, but it is foooiiine.
Smacks lips
"Would you intercept me?"
**smacks lips again**
“Id intercept me”
What usually handicaps fighters like the F-22 is the rules of engagement. If visual identification is required, it can severely expose planes like the Raptor.
Which is the opposite of what happened here, they put five eagles in the air and told them to just fly straight and level until they were “destroyed” by a phantom they couldn’t see from beyond visual range. They weren’t even given the luxury of smoke in the air and maybe the chance of using countermeasures. This was a simulated “just fly until we tell you you’re dead” situation
Can you even begin to imagine what ROE's the current puppet in the whitehouse basement can come up with to keep his clients happy?
@Matt-yg8ub the video said that the Eagkes "used every strategy...plus what they could to save themselves"...
@@boddaboom77 With respect, the video is wrong. Red flag exercises like this are intended to prove a point, they’re pretty much scripted with an already predetermined outcome. This wasn’t news to anybody, this was the outcome they wanted and Designed the “experiment” to achieve.
How do you figure my man? The raptor can get close enough for visual confirmation and never be seen by an enemie aircraft.
The F-22 is absolutely unstoppable!
Air superiority can be obtained with F15s because the enemy doesn‘t have F22s.
But why use f-15 they can just use f-22
Well no. The f15s can still be seen by other fighters because of its sh*t rcs. The f22 would need to be very close to them to be seen.
Now that’s a concept the air forces never even heard of. If it’s not the most costly aircraft on the face of the earth, they don’t want to hear about it.
@@alfr1516 the F 22 is a fantastic aircraft, but the F-15 is a legendarily good aircraft that outperforms it in several respects.
Stealth is only one aspect of combat .
@Matt-yg8ub even if it "outperforms" In some way over the f22, which would only be speed, it would still lose to other aircraft designed for modern air supiority which would be stealth
Should have never shut down the production line.. we got way too few F22s for what we need
Ya thanks Obuma!!
Ngad is already in flight test stage and makes the f22 look like the weight brothers plane
@@CharlesFulcomer … I sure hope so.. but it would be nice to have a few hundred extra raptors around until they are operational
Proof of concept for Dark Grey projects..
Very expensive to maintain
@@brian1740 You do know that Robert Gates is the responsible party for this decision, yes? President Obama was the kind of brilliant national executive who listened to his chosen subject matter experts.
Gates was already after this result before Obama was elected... And chose to keep Robert Gates, even though he was a Republican... because President Obama is not your typical politician dipshit.
Though it sure seems like it would be great to have more F-22s, in the end, it proved a nascent decision.
The F15 Eagle 🦅 is still a beast & a beauty. If it wasn’t for the F15 the F22 would have never been born . They are both from the same bloodline…..American blood runs through their fuselage.
And our government has ideas of replacing them all due to maintenance costs?
Again, the cost of a superior defense has and will continue to be high, history has shown this.
Pick any century and work yourself all the way through the present time.
Maybe if our current administration cared about America as they much as they do about Ukraine, China and Immigrants from south America we wouldn't be worried about this. I seen where the illegal immigrants are costing taxpayers something like 11 million a day. It's almost like this administration hates America
It’s because we have better aircraft in preproduction and testing. The less money spent repairing the Raptors the faster they go into production.
The F-15 has about a 100:0 air-to-air kill ratio.
1 F-22 can kill 5 F-15s with no counter response from the F-15s.
But, there are aircraft being tested right now that are far superior to the F-22s whose technology were developed in the 1980s.
It's government..new toys every season..
Sadly fitting saying..
And now the USAF just ordered a bunch of F-15EX’s that will outlive the F-22
Yeah somebody up top wasn’t using their brain to its full capacity. The F-15 is good, but it’s not Raptor good
Air superiority in the USA has sure gotten majestic fast maneuverable and efficient for any predecessors of any other country, Were the kings of the sky ,I'm so proud and happy that we have the best of the best on our team ❤
An F-15 Pilot got transferred to an F-22. He then took part in force on force with both planes. His comments were as follows:
"It's like putting your two favorite teams against each other, but one is entirely invisible. It's just not fair."
The raptor pilot won because it was mock combat, so all he needed to do was obtain lock and maybe hold it for a few seconds. This dogfight was unfair, since the raptor has better radar and stealth capabilities.
That was the whole damn point. You expect the US to give up the advantage of superior stealth and radar because it’s “unfair?” Don’t be stupid.
I was thinking the same 😅
Blah blah blah. The f-15 is outdated and you can’t accept that a single f-22 can beat 5. Your little 104-0 aircraft isn’t relevant anymore so chill.
That's the whole point m8. It has stealth, so it's ♾️ly better.
The Eagles don’t even have the benefit of smoke in the air, and the chance to use counter measures or evade… they just get locked by a superior radar from outside their own range and destroy without ever getting a chance to engage
Though I love the F-15, the F-22 is the BEST air to air superiority fighter in the world today.
U.S. military aviation second to none! 🇺🇸
Yeah they got results in the modern warship game😂
Bro thinks that USAF are childs who care abt what ppl say and try their best to prohe them wrong💀
US Air Force retired. One word, " Bull."
If you have ever seen experienced F15 pilots doing aerial maneuvarability flight training and practice, it is an outstanding experience to behold. You get to see the pilot use the clouds and trees to hide at low heights and high speeds. You never know which direction the F15 will come from. You can stand and watch the F15 moves all day. With that said, if an F22 can defeat an F15, then, imagine how much more awesome the F22 really is.
You don’t have to imagine it, there is a thing called air shows
@@bottle3124 this was not an airshow. It was better than an airshow.
Give the pilots of the F-15’s eye tests and refresher retraining. Commenters thought I was serious. It’s a joke they engage miles away. Facetiousness ever heard of it. Man oh man.
Me how do you see a target 90kms away
@@AnthonyParisi-sm2yd facetious
Yes an eye test for something that travels at Mach 2 easily fast with the radar signature of a bumble bee..
F-22s have been around for decades and never shot down even when they fly with bombs killing their stealth.
@@Whichwaydidtheygo good look seeing something that's probably beyond the horizon.
@@ashenmoonclash man you airplane guys have absolutely no sense of humor. YOU are myopic. Wow
As a F-15 mechanic 43171C in the Air Force! The F-15 Eagle is an amazing aircraft BUT it doesn’t hold a candle to an F-22 Raptor
I thought the F-15s never lost in combat... Undefeated 100-0
In actual combat, 104-0.
In exercises when the Raptor and Lightning II don't hold back, 0 - omg...
oh no they're right the F-15 is more then sufficient to secure air dominance, but the F-22 will secure it without anyone seeing
I say the US should continue to build those things as they are the absolute best fighter aircrafts. Nothing comes even close of those beasts, not even the F-35.
Too late. The assembly lines are long disassembled.
The Air Force equivalent to "We investigated ourselves and found no faults".
Ya can't put F-22 pilots into F-15s.
Put combat veteran F-15s into the F-15s!
The F-22 is the best fighter jet platform on earth... Im not surprised.
