And yet its only success is shooting down a balloon. F15 still remains the best as it has proven itself numerous times
only in movies and video games. IRL = king of crashes
A great weapon system to aid our already untouchable airforce and navy
Cool, send a few to Ukraine and see who well they REALLY fare against the Russians.
I bet the yf-23 would’ve been amazing but only in stealth ops
I think they're both amazing planes. We should have built both
Wait till you see the su57 felon😁😜
If China or Iran or Russia keep playing the fool around game we all may very well find out.
The new war is drones
BS
With a different paint scheme, the F-22 would be looking every bit as gorgeous as F-14, F-15 and F-16 ! 😲
https://youtu.be/xJg8M0QC42k?t=433
F22 could have shot down the balloon when it was over the pacific but they didn’t want to anger their Chinese pay masters
Actually most popular deployment was in 08 against iron man.
Then why is the f22 not being copied or having a knockoff of that jet. China rather copy the F35 with their J35. Russia does have a jet that looks like F22. Only Korea Kf21 bohame and Turkey KAAN are cheaper and don't have 2D thrust vectoring.
I would argue that the YF-23 was the better package in every way. Not a fan boy, it was just better.
F**** around with the united states and you quickly find out why we don't have national health care
I don't get it. I recently saw that the U.S. is looking to replace the F-22 already. There's not a single aircraft that can take it, yet the government wants to replace it. Perfect example of the military industrial complex running everything 🤦♂️
pfft apart from some shows it accomplished only a balloon down on us soil. Russia have atleast 2 who are way better and ther aviators are better to. Unless it on hollywood films. then maverick and all other filmstars is better. wouldnt surprise me if china to have better.
Let it meet the s400
whoever told obama to stop the production of these needs to be fired.
S-550 enough said
Please stop looking like an absolute tool in your thumbnails
Something I learned: the F-22 demo team has to train specifically for airshows as to not show the plane's true capabilities.
My 22 is a six shot pistol
Half the price of the f35 and at least 10 times the fighter… Dumbass government getting rid of it is one of the most retarded things we could do. F35 is honestly just a massively overpriced paper weight.
Most lethal by simulation ONLY. Truly most lethal would be the B-29 that dropped the Nuclear Bombs on Japan.
Why are they retiring f22 is there a cost problem
Let’s set the record straight. There are no population centers in Montana. They could’ve shot it down anytime they wanted. The government knew about before it was even over land. The president allowed our greatest adversary to send real time data back. I would call that treason
Too bad they only have a few hundred and destroyed the production line. They will wear out in 10 years or less
The Air Force did make the wrong choice. But, I agree that the F-22 is the greatest air superiority fighter ever built.
Su 57 hasn't been out for 1 tenth the time and already has more confirmed kills… as much as i like the F22 its not showing any results yet dispite being almost at the end of its service life its still a paper plane with only a ballon kill to speak of.
let's see that by sending it in ukraine, before saying this kind of speculation, remember, the F177 was invisible…
Balloon 0, Raptor 1.
They didn’t like finding out, decided not to F around anymore.
The doomsday clock is past 30 mins or 50 sec or whatever. Why not make a posh vid about that? With the stolen tech from the US and USSR, Chyna changed the world by saying they stole it and now they are using it. A country that is rated as a third world country by themselves is threatening the world balance is a travesty.
Ivan why is this group of bees on your radar screen flying at mach 1?
Must be a glitch sir
I thought Simon misspoke in the beginning, but no, Iran seriously scrambled Su-25s for an intercept 😂
greased and ready to kick ass
Who wrote this? The biggest advantage of the F-22 is the electronics. Not the engines, not the maneuverability, not the "stealth".
12:36 they shut down two “UFOs” but the remains were never recovered? I’m sure the US would tell us if they recovered them.😂
IT SMELLS LIKE BITCH IN THIS AIRSPACE!!!
Iranians also landed one of American stealth drone, obtained the onboard video. Plz mention that too
And to think US sent F-22 straight at the China balloons to allow China to gain all kinds of info on the F-22 signatures. Not smart when F-15 would do same thing cheaper
That intro is dope.
We should give some f22s the su27 paint job. Just to fuck with em.
3:36 Dude your forgetting the true star, the frisby. Ok i dont know how to spell frisby. The F19 was incredible as well.
Fuck yeah! Murica!!!!

Here we go with the balloon story.
A waste money to use a much to expensive aircraft, that holds 2 missiles, to shoot down a balloon that already collected what the Chinese wanted?
Literally rolling on the floor of laughing.
A retired F-4 Phantom could shoot a balloon down (or a missile from the ground for that matter).
Nice try liberal media
Meanwhile, the inferior F-35 program has cost over 1 trillion dollars and still has bugs being worked on to this day. I would have routed at least 40% of that to Raptor upgrades.
