It's still about 99 percent more than the rest of the world combined when it comes to generation 5 air superiority fighters. 200 of these is like having 5k of the next best.
Nothing would happen if any of those bombs were dropped when it comes to an explosion. It's not TNT, kinetic energy doesn't detonate those explosives.
The missiles are very safe compared to bombs. They can only trigger by specific computer inputs inside their software. Obviously a bomb would trigger that but if it just fell on its own it would not explode.
Last I heard the Raptor still does not have the HMCS of the F-35, which is considered to be the best helmet system in the world. It literally can see through the plane and has a look to shoot capability. Since no more F-22s are being produced, it should receive every advanced upgrade packages to keep it state of the art until production starts on the NGAD systems.
Wow I didn’t know that old and out of date video was still up the F-22 is a lot more dangerous now
You should watch a video on how the f22 flies. It's my favorite jet since I was a kid
Not a new plane. They don't make them anymore. The last Raptor was delivered to the USAF in 2012. The development for the plane began in 1981. The F35 is the new US jet. In some ways it does not match the Raptor, in others it far exceeds it.
187 according to this video have been made.
You're good . yes it's Fly . you were a bit hyped up .
Actually, the current leading edge is a 6th generation aircraft. The 22 does have helmet display, but it's the most dangerous thing in the sky, except the newer generation US aircrafts.
No, they also destroyed the line (for security purposes)
The F117a was developed and perfected decades before anyone knew about it. Keep that in mind.
The trust vectoring was developed in part, to out maneuver enemy aircraft as well as heat seeking missiles where as the F177a diffused the heat signature.

Check out this short of a raptor…just incredible
It’s called thrust vectoring and it is crazy to watch!
f-22 bad ass, the f-35 plays multiple roles so not master at it. And yes, maneuverability at the top of things you want in a dog fight with speed, but now they lock on and fire miles away or use stealth to sneak up
It’s not armed til on the plane, and they pull the pins once locked onto the olane
@8:53 no it wouldn't explode, maybe if you shot it or fire would set it off eventually. You could drop it though lol.
At least Nukes won't go off even in fire or directly hit
let me suggest a game for ya my guy its called kerbal space program . i think you would get into it from your reactions to these types of things
Gotta love the names. Never a. " Butterfly" or " hummingbird" lol
Dude you give a bad name for the UK when it comes to intelligence. Sorry but sometimes you ask questions like you either haven't listened or can't comprehend well. PAY ATTENTION!!
The HMQC Helmets, which are more seen on 4th gen fighters and the F-35 are around $200,000 per helmet and required 2 days to custom make each for the pilot custom fitted to them. adding that to the 22 currently is just too expensive given the total cost of maintenance already done on the 22. Will it have them? Sure eventually. But currently, even without them, the 22 is so capable that it makes it a lower priority compared to other modernization programs for its weapon systems. Remember that every time their is a new missile for it, it changes the size and shape. the 22 has no outer weapon pylons to told those newer weapons externally, so changes are constantly being made to make the new weapons compatible while still maintaining compatibility for older ordnance.
Sucks its getting discontinued. The upkeep is too expensive, and upgrading the computer requires you to disassemble the plane completely.
The F-22 is SOO good that when we train against our European allies we literally have to put a pod on the jet that essentially turns its stealth off so the allies can even see and engage it.
The missiles won’t go off by being dropped on the ground. They have to be armed and queued from the jets internal software before it’s explosives can go off.
Many years ago one flew over NASCAR Richmond 500 . They so dam kick ass made proud we have these. Now just need build them again at cheaper price tag.
You need to check out the F-35. Thats the newest edition 5th gen fighter. Theres already 500 in sevive with another 1000 on order.I feel like this is an old video as it wasnt even mentioned
I've seen one up close at an air show, and they used to fly over me on my motorcycle when driving into Vegas, they are super cool.
Stealth Coating and the Geometry of the F-22 give the jet a radar signature of a Bumblebee! The flaps at the engines provide Thrust Vectoring which gives the jet the capability to turn on a dime. The flaps can move up, and down diverting the thrust from the engines to allow the jet to turn super face, and tight. The F-22 also has a Gatling Gun that can shred an enemy jet at close range. Combine all of that with the technology we don't even know about (classified stuff) that make this Fighter Jet an absolute assassin!
The F-22 is undefeated against spy balloons.
The F22 was designed 30 years ago, first flew in 1997 and went operational in 2005. Russia and China have just deployed fighters with some stealth properties. The F22 is going to be replaced in the next 10 years with a Gen 6 stealth, hypersonic fighter/bomber. (SR72).
Former US Air Force maintainer here, if you accidentally drop one of the weapons the worst that can happen is that you damage the weapon and make it unusable. Contrary to popular myth, it will not explode just because it hits the ground. The weapon has to be armed first in order for a detonation to happen. This can only be done by the electronics system on board the aircraft.
8:45 no it won't explode if dropped. the explosives in the missile require a specific detonator to go off in order to explode. the detonator must be armed to explode and that is done once it is already on the aircraft.
they put F-22s in Syria and adversaries grounded 587 aircraft in the region
"How's it moving like that?" And now you know why😂😂😂
F22 be like, Would you intercept me, I'd intercept me
Generally no, there's not a lot of risk of a missile exploding if the ground crews drops one as most air-to-air missiles rely on proximity detonation rather than impact detonation. They will cause damage to the missile if they drop it, which will require time to pull it off the line, inspect, and repair or dispose of if it is damaged, which will be costly, so somebody will get in a heap of trouble.
i heard that thing has a radar signiture like a bumble bee. practically invisible. ive seen instances where hostile aircraft would be invading our airspace and an F22 would fly right up to them, the pilot would look at the weapons the enemy has equipped, be utterly un impressed and then roll up beside the enemy aircraft almost wing tip to wing tip and radio the enemy pilot like "hey, you should leave while you have the chance" and the enemy pilot bout jumps out of their cockpit when they suddenly notice the deadly 6th gen fighter right next to them. its hilarious
Look up Thrust Vectoring to see magical flight mechanics.
If you’re wondering why they haven’t included all of the most modern equipment for the F-22, it’s the same reason they are not able to build more of them. The F-22 was designed from the ground up to be a stealth air superiority fighter. The body shape of the aircraft is exceedingly important for that role, so it requires highly specialized equipment in order to build one and that body shape cannot be altered without losing the main aspect of the aircraft. Being as the F-22 is already over 40 years old, there’s new equipment being developed which it’s original engineers had not planned for.
There is literally not enough space in the body of the Raptor to incorporate these new systems. The best way to incorporate these new technologies into the Raptor would be to build it into an entirely new frame which we cannot do as the equipment used to build the F-22 originally was scrapped when the program was cancelled. The Raptor as this point has gotten old enough to where it simply cannot accept new upgrades.
This is why the NGAD is currently in development as the F-22’s successor. It is literally an F-22 redesigned with space for future technologies and built to be even stealthier and more maneuverable with more capabilities. (They’re already in the testing phase by the way, the prototype is already airborne).
Missiles generally don’t explode if you accidentally drop it or bump it because they have to be activated first. They are safer than a RPG (rocket propelled grenade) and those won’t go off from dropping them because they have to accelerate a certain amount at a high rate of speed before being activated
As awesome as the F-22 Raptors are, UFO's play with them like they're harmless toys. LOL.
When you plan your trip to the USA, look for somewhere they are having an Air Show and you can watch the Blue Angels as well as many other planes! It's great!
10:48 oh I you’d think that huh? 😅
I've worked on several fighter jets in my Engineering career. The F-22 is the pinnacle of all of them when it comes to air superiority. Unfortunately, it came about in a time before the networking capability we have now. If you're talking F-35, you need to see a video about just the helmet,. Also, the F-35 is like a mini AWACS, where it could communicate to other friendly aircraft where the enemies are. But there is already a program on the horizon to replace the F-22, the NGAD. It will be even more badass than the F-22, utilizing the latest networking and communication technology as well as (hopefully) a higher limit on futureproofing. The fleet will be somewhat larger than the F22 fleet, they're estimating we'd need 400-600 of these super planes to work with thousands of drones. So, a next gen fighter will be flanked by several next gen drones that aren't limited to 9g maneuvers (because no human) and can perform more dangerous missions, including kamikaze, with no risk to the pilots.
this is a plane you never want to be in the cross-airs of ever. if you are then you know you have made a enemy out of the USA. Since the USA is the only country have them.
You would not want to drop a missile cause of the electronics, avionics, and attachment point damage. We are talking about usually more than 100,000 USD each, the AIM9X is almost 500,000 USD. The cueing system they are talking about was implemented after they were built.
