✔️ European Reacts to USA New Super F-22 Raptor - Reaction For the First Time
![[LIVE] : ONE ลุมพินี 80 | คู่เอก "รักษ์ vs ยอดนำชัย"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ckLMRorsMeY/mqdefault.jpg)
By U.S. Law, the F-22 Raptor cannot be exported to any other country - not even our closest allies.
Good why should we spend billions only for countries looking for hand me downs.
@@NancyElizabeth-n9n
In general, our allies that have American aircraft buy them, offsetting some of the production costs.
@@NoChance797 They (our allies) can buy the f-35. The F-22 stays with the U.S. and only the U.S.
I would bet the B-21 and NGAD will be the same.
It's classified but here is the best numbers on the front and overall radar cross section. Frontal aspect (head-on): 0.0001 m² (similar to a marble)
Overall aspect (including side and rear): 0.00016 m² (similar to a small insect). The new US true hypersonic missile which is 9 feet shorter than it's closest competitor will fit in the bay of the F-22 & F35.
Best F-16 pilot quote- 'You'll know your in a fight with an F-22 when your plane explodes.' 😂
Moonfish… is that you?
My dad was a 25 year fighter pilot for navy,marines, and Air Force. He flew f-16 f-18, and was a top gun instructor on the f-18, He said he’s out maneuvered f-22s with ease in dogfights, has almost zero to do with the jet and almost ALL to do with the pilot. He said you’ve gotta be a dog or your FCKED😂 he did 8 combat tours as well
The F-22 was designed solely to be an air superiority fighter. The F-35 was designed to be a multi-role fight, aka a jack of all trades. It is not a better than the F-22, it is different than the F-22.
Thank you for your service sir 🙏🏾
Yes this is what I wanted to say nothing can even come close to the f22 in fighter to fighter combat the 35 is an all-rounder
This is why the F35 will have a longer service life than the F22.
F-35 is the unfair advantage in the air.
it is better in certain regards it's sensor package and it's electronic warfare capabilities are literal best in the world.
The F-22 is more agile and faster than the F-35 though; but everything else the F-35 kinda takes the crown.
I worked on the F-22 in 1998. It is indeed over 2 decades old yet still the best air dominance fighter in the world.
Wouldn't surprise me the US has stuff even more advanced. Years ago saw something early 90s makes you wonder? Was it a uap or ? Close encounter with something. Knowing how things fly and sound. Neat experience.
The full fledged F-22 prototype flew in 1998; the aircraft was not to be available for service till the 2000s.
SU41 and Rafale 7th Generation are FAR BETTER
@ThePeterR66 nobody else has true 5th gen aircraft like the F22 and F35... the only other jet that are out are near peer and are gen 4 1/2 at best. They do some great work but aren't even full gen 5 aircraft. They are a ways off still. And their fleets are unremarkable in quantity
Iconic
I was in college from 1990 to 1994 and remember following this aircraft from it's begining, from the YF22. Wow I can believe how time passed and I'm still amazed by this aircraft.
The F35 and F15 work great as a team. The F35 flies ahead into contested airspace and spots targets. It sends the data about the targets to the F15 which shoots it down. The F15 is essentially a missile truck that can also stand on its own. The F22 engages anything trying to obtain air supremacy. With the combination of these 3 planes you can get rid of surface to air missile system, airplanes, and enemy airfields. Once airspace is uncontested B52s can bomb enemy artillery and infantry positions so you don’t end up in a situation like the Russia/Ukraine war where artillery is being over utilized.
The F-18 and F-16 are also suitable for being payload delivery devices flying with the F-35 or F-22 in order to eliminate ground-to-air defensive measures before flying in the bombers. The B-2 isn't a terrible option if you really need to demolish a bunker in a hurry and can't wait to obtain air dominance before you do so. The B-1 is great for when you can only ensure a certain window of air dominance before other reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, the B-52 is the trusty old workhorse for changing terrain and putting warheads on foreheads.
Correct. F35 Lightning-II for long range targeting and electronic warfare, F22 for air supremacy and interceptor denial, and F15/F18 as missile trucks (carrying missiles in the 300mi to 900mi range) at standoff range. Then couple that with the Rapid Dragon system deploying up to 45 cruise missiles per cargo plane (currently loaded with JASSM-ER with a range of 1,200 miles) from the air and you have an incredibly deadly combination of platforms.
Who we talking about fighting with ? You need to remember unless your an elite there are no places that would be safe for civilan because they don't care about us we are cattle ,sheep worked to death and led to slaughter But if you have God in your life you realize there is a better place and it's not 60 bad yrs and 20 good if your lucky here on earth HOW LONG IS ETERNITY it's exactly that eternity
Super Hornets carry more bombs and ammo than god himself. F-15s are nice and nimble but they're way short on munitions.
@@Donald_Turnip Might be true for the early variants of the F-15, but the F-15 EX has a 5,350kg heavier payload capacity than the F-18 Super Hornet and it also has more hard points to mount ordinance to. The difference is in compatibility. The F/A-18E and F variants are compatible with just SO MUCH ordinance that you're really spoiled for choice in how you configure your loadout for a sortie.
The F-15 is the world's reigning champion with a 104-0 air to air record. One F-22 shot down FIVE F-15's and they never even saw the F-22
It’s got an overall record of 40-1 against the f15
The F-15 had to prove it was the best 104 times. Pilots just land if they think a F-22 is in the area. It's yet to be challenged.
"Never saw the f22" ...
Was that visually, or on RADAR? The F-15 has a very powerful RADAR that can detect and even lock targets well beyond the operational range of the AIM-120s it would normally carry, (2x as far or more, according to best guesses based on publicly available info). I think the F-15 would at least detect the F-22 by the time they closed to, say, 40 miles from one another ... especially under optimal conditions. If the F-15s were also being fed target data through Data Link with AWACS, it could be farther. Lastly, as soon as the F-22 scanned the F-15 with its RADAR, the F-15 would get some kind of notification on its RADAR Warning Receiver, especially if it is spiked (F-22 tries to aquire a weapons lock).
The scenario might have been different than what I have in mind, but if it was a Beyond Visual Range engagement, all of those things are applicable. I am going to see if I can find detailed info.
Yeah the F-15 is a scary beast of a plane.
If the F-15 is out classed by something else you know it's a terrifying thing. The 22 just plays on a whole other level. Nothing moves like it (though the 15 EX comes close). Nothing can see the 22. It kills you before you or your radar ever register it. And then it vanishes. It's a damned ghost even to our own top planes.
@@TheKickKat F-22 is stealth...
The f22 is THE best plane ever engineered. It’s the pinnacle of human innovation
That we know of. The secrete stuff will not be public for years.
I would disagree. I don’t believe in aliens, and I think the classified UAP craft are the pinnacle of human innovation. America used one to shoot a ICBM dummy missile down in the 1970s, and it’s likely the CIA/Navy control the craft. I believe there a layer of defense of our Carrier groups.
K00😊l0😊😊k0😊kbql🎉🎉
I mean it’s already overkill , the Chinese J-20 has canards very easy to spot not to mention their weak engines and the Russian SU-57 would even dare fly over Ukraine. The biggest problem US face is the cheap drones, quantity is a quality within itself.
Nae that would be the felon
The B-52 is being upgraded again and is expected to be in service on it's 100th birthday
There is little else i love more than the smell of muscle car exhaust and the sound of a fighter jet flying over. There is a couple of these in my town as week speak for eaa
You never have to apologize for pausing and asking questions! That's what makes your reactions so cool! I think you do great with the English language and reading!! Thanks again my friend! Team America here too!❤🤍💙
I agree
I also agree. 👍. Love your channel too.
In short to answer his question it's so we could be first to the sixth gen airplanes.
This is how reaction channels are supposed to run. If you're not pausing and making commentary, you're just stealing the content. You are doing it right.
35 - Think of the F-22 as the World's Best MMA fighter and the F-35 as a genius engineer with an AI supercomputer....they will both F-You Up in their own way.
Damn, that was well said
Why doesn't anyone compare kill-rates and simulations between those 2?
@@Ricky-sb7bf any comparison would be too situationally dependent. There is no real world dogfighting or pear to pear statistics to compare and if the F-35 has access to all the external support systems that it is intended to integrate with, then there is no fight, the F-22 loses before any fight starts. If for some reason the F-22 is able to get relatively close to the F-35, I would assume it would have the better chance of success. *I know relatively little about both their real world capabilities, just what the government has told us.
@@zgreen9673 I see. I suppose they could Sim, but it sounds boring as hell. They might as well just give the Warthog all those electronics because flight doesn't even seem to matter anymore.
F22 = 5th Gen Air Dominance/Superiority twin engine fighter.
F35 = 5th Gen Multirole single engine Fighter with VTOL & aircraft carrier capable. Think Harrier, but 3 generations more advanced.
The higher number (35 vs 22) does NOT signify better or more advanced ... its a different hull configuration number. Completely different plane. The F22 would beat the F35 in a straight up dogfight 7 times in 10, and is stealthier, but the F35 has more diverse abilities in terms of VTOL & ordnance
I am merely an old lady who lives near Luke AF base. The F-22 and F-35 training flight path runs directly over my house. I love it. Seeing and hearing those beautiful birds fills me with both pride and a sense of security. No, I don't even care about the noise.
The Russian and Chinese competition are not up to the F-22 standard. They are however closing the gap. USAF, as does other arms of the US military, desires to stay more than one step ahead of near-peer competitors.
Thanks for covering this important topic. 🌵👵🏻🇺🇸
We had a mayor that suggested a housing complex catering to deaf people be developed near our airport😮
I had a professor who was a doctor in physics, he told us stories about building the F-22, and the cruise missile.
I believe Luke AFB only has F-35s and F-16s. Maybe a few other training jets, but no F-22s. That would be great if they had them too though!
@@salvat0re12 You are correct. I double checked. Thank you for catching my error.
@@Navigator2166 thank you for being so pleasant!
The Raptor is my all time favorite. Seen it perform several times at EAA ÀirVenture. Was lucky at ÀirVenture this year to see the Raptor, Lightning, and Growler. All are amazing aircraft, both overwhelming pride and pleasure to watch. The Raptor just shakes your chest when it flies over and goes straight up. I could sit there and watch it all day.
It’s not really a function of opinion. The F22 is the best air superiority platform ever made and the Super variants will continue to be. Sexy motherlovers.
It's the classic, " If it ain't broke, don't fix it." We can't take older aircraft out of service until we've worked out the kinks with new tech. And those are inevitable. Plus the F-22 can still kick your ass in a fight.
A F 22 was patrolling near the Iraq/Iran border. He came across two F 4’s flown by Iranian forces. He proceeded to investigate then and their armaments visually. They never knew he was there underneath him until he drew eye level and told them to go home. The F-4 was state of art during the 1960’s. Which means our enemies in Iran are over sixty years behind us
I love this story but I'd like to correct you on one little thing. The F22 pilot was escorting a drone, and when the F4's approached the drone that's when the pilot snuck up on them. They were distracted but he was still definitely invisible
@@Sinful_morality I don't think F-22s are in the habit of working alone. If there was one F-22 sneaking up on the Phantoms, it's a more or less safe bet there was another F-22 some 5-8 miles (or more) behind them that they never knew was there in the first place, ready to smoke the pair of them from BVR if they showed any aggression towards the F-22 that let itself be seen.
@@ArabianShark that's fair. I just didn't wanna go that in depth, and I was really only correcting a small portion of his comment, but cool flex dude, thanks
Neither the ruzzians or chinese have anything even close to the F-22 or F-35.
Basicall F-22 is predominantly air-to-air...
F-35 is predominantly air-to-ground...
I work for a company that makes parts for both the F-22 & F-35. 15 years ago, we were making a lot of parts for the F-22. Now, we occasionally get orders for F-22 replacement parts, but we make a lot of F-35 parts.
Lockheed has very tight specs for every part of the process.
....it never fails to impress me how frequently people talk about their former jobs working on classified projects; but when they are still doing the job, why that's just shit I'd expect to see on a War Thunder forum.
@@stephenkolostyak4087 What exactly did I say that's classified?
I don't think you did @@brianharkins412

You should see it in person. It looks like it's defying physics. I live in the city with the biggest airshow in the world so I get to watch it showing off from my back yard almost every year.
We were building the prototypes for the F22 in 1987. It's approximately 35 years old. The F35 is approximately 16 years old.
Don't underestimate the "Kid". F-22 is a beast! Franklin is cool too, love a blow torch wielding racoon.

Franklin is solely responsible for the fact that the Russian Army has standard issue skivvies that look like they’ve been sideswiped by a UPS truck. 😅😅🤣🤪

The F-15 is the most badass and quintessentially American jet ever!
Russia and China are trying to copy / paste, but they are far behind. I'm not diminishing their accomplishments, but they are behind other than Nukes, which is worrying
Chinese J-20 has a big ass Radar Cross Section.
Russian SU-57 afraid to fly over Ukraine.

US jets have never been tested against a peer enemy either. If anything they have less experience in that area.

You can say that about every modern fighter jets , you do realize the last real dog fight anyone has ever seen is during the Vietnam war right ? Dessert Storm was just target practice.

Hi, André! My dear husband (together since 1978❤) has worked in the defense industry his whole adult life.
He works in research & development.
Of course, he NEVER speaks specifically about what his team is currently working on.
I do know that government contracts go to the companies who both know how to bid for contracts AND have an excellent performance record on previous contracts.
His teams over the years helped develop FLIR (now commonly used by law enforcement & search & rescue.
His team also worked on research & development -- called R & D -- for AARAM.
And many, many others.
Blessings, all.
Only Americans wouldn't notice the sarcastic undertone in this reaction video, from the comments I can see that it literally flew over their heads, I find that hilarious! 😂
As an Air Force F-16 crew chief veteran. The F-22 is unmatched in air superiority. The Air Force portion of the military budget is huge.
Best is a tricky word. Each plane is designed for specific purposes to address different missions.
1:55, The F-22 Raptor planning phase began in the 1980's, the first official flight was in 1997, and entered military service in 2005! It's been around close to 30 years!
Can't imagine the tech advancement for the new super version.
Not saying ur wrong but it was out before 97 its just when they wanted us to know about it
A group of F22s doing maneuvers like the Blue Angles would be cool AF !
the F22 is the nimble agile boxer, doesnt get hit and hits really hard. the F35 is the big brain nerd, sees you from super far away, and tells all his friends about you.
I'll tell you what I'm proud of. The SR-72. Git'sum world. Unbeatable.
And no the US knows the f22 is better than the J20 and the SU57 by quite a large margin but the US military likes making sure the technology gap is massive so they are making a new plane
You see those little wings on the J20? That shows that despite their best efforts they can’t keep it stable in the air😂. They aren’t on the level to the F22
@@jeffslote9671They can barely fly and their own engines destroy themselves with each flight... Plus they have zero stealth.
China and Russia would like to think they can compete with the F22. We let them think that. In reality, the F16 can take them on.
@@SilvaDreams A squadron of F22’s could never defeat a full squadron of SU57’s. That’s because can’t even field a full squadron of SU57
@@breveth exactly. they try their best but the tech gap is huge
Keep in mind the majority of the reason why F-22 got so much lack of support over the years is because it was released almost a decade after the collapse of the USSR, which is the enemy they were building and designing the F-22 to go up against.
Not to mention the contract was way behind schedule, way over budget, and failed to beat the should have been F-23 but that was also behind schedule on the weapon systems.
F22 is a scalpel... wielded by the invisible surgeon.
The F35 is an axe... wielded by an invisible drunken lumberjack.
The A-10 is a gun… wielded by a very visible big and angry Sasquatch
@@RedKingdom09 The development process of the A-10 is really funny. Basically, General Electric (the appliance company) made a big fuck-off gun, then they made some really nice jet engines, then they handed both of those over to Fairchild for them to duct-tape wings onto and make it fly. Then Fairchild put the pilot inside a titanium bathtub to protect the pilot FROM THE GUN. Like, sure, it also protects them against stray fire from enemy aircraft and air defense, but it's mostly there to prevent the pilot from dying if the gun gets jammed and rips itself apart due to inertia. They then went a step further and made the aircraft the flying equivalent of a rabid honeybadger by making it capable of flying with a wing, an engine, and half the tail missing. That thing is an absolute menace.
Great reaction video mate, and skipping back to make sure you have the full fact’s is totally fine, it’s exactly how people learn. Cheers from 🏴👍🏻
To clarify the f22 was tested in the 90s, and it's still ahead of fighters china and russia is making currently
F22 is getting old but still the best air superiority fighter in the world and will be for years to come ❤ the Raptor
F22 is 12 years old. B-52 are over 50.
Maybe go to a conversation where similar people are you don't know what they're talking about. The F22 is a better plane than the F35 because it's made with superior everything.
@@Donald_Turnip He makes more sense then you.
@@loboxx337 Whatever, stop huffing glue or at least come with a mature/adult point orrrr don't reply at all.
Actually, even better. You and I are done communicating, you're diss-missed. I can't keep responding to dildos on here.
Old but gold..
The name of the fighter that was so hard to say is actually an acronym NGAD - Next Generation Air Dominance. Next generation refers to incorporating other craft like drones in the action of one plane; that seems to be where these things are headed.
Tell him about the lasers!! ❤😂 The system of fighter drones messed me up when I saw them 💪🏾!! Can't wait to see it in action.
Is that the actual design of the NGAD? I doubt it is. I think that is just a speculative concept. Has the contract decision been made or awarded to a company yet? Also, would like to add the SR-71 did operate for around 20 years before its existence was officially released to the public.
I come from a short long line of people in the Aviation and Aerospace industry. So I have an overwhelming sense of pride when it comes to America’s aerial dominance. My grandfather was an aircraft mechanic and my father was a mechanical engineer for Lockheed Martin and later on NASA. Even my sister works for NASA. And I work at a MRO company where we do maintenance repair, and overhaul on commercial and military aircraft so things that fly in America is kind of what my life and family is all about.
Very cool!!
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.Attitude determines how well you do it.
We love you, Europe ❤. I really enjoyed this your channel. I'm so glad I stumbled upon it while binge watching our military planes
Agree 100% that the F-22 is hands down the best fighter jet period.
8:08 The US Navy Blue Anglese fly F-18 Super Hornets and the US Air Force Thunderbirds fly F-16s. The Blue Angels will never fly the F-22 because they are not a Navy aircraft and the Blue Angels are capable of converting to a tactical fighter squadron in like 18 hours from a demonstration squadron.That being said, I don't see the Thunderbirds ever adopting the F-22 simply because of how few there are.
It’d be cool if they do eventually get some if the F-22 is one-upped. I had the Thunderbirds ripping around the valley I live in and it would’ve been cool to see them in F-22s!
@@coolHawk_ I honestly think that the US Air Force will adopt the F-35 for the future of the Thunderbirds.
The f22 has a demonstration team and flies air shows. I met them on their first flight and have the patches and videos as memories. The flat spin looks like they hover and turn in the air. I have a video of one flying with older war birds and it was sick.
9:29 The Spilt-S has been a trained tactic for over 60 years.
The F-35 is basically a flying supercomputer. It can track and transmit targets, enemies, allies, support, etc. in real time to its entire squadron.
I live near an air force base that has these jets. The sound that they make when passing overhead is alien.
It sounds like a Star Wars Tie Fighter as it screams loudly as it passes by. It sounds otherworldly for sure.
This jet flew next to 2 enemy jets (within 50 ft) that had no idea it was there. The F-22 checked out their ordinance then the pilot made himself known to the other 2 pilots, simply saying "You should go home."
I remember that video. The fat electrician covered it
Remember the F-22 might be 20 years old, but the prototype its based on is first flew almost 34 years ago now, and started being designed over 40 years ago.
The F-35 definitely has some far more advanced abilities, being a far newer aircraft. That said, its not designed as the cutting edge dogfighter, but to be the jack-of-all-trades warehouse plane that can dogfight too.
Essentially the F-22 replaced the few and expensive F-15C's, the F-35 replaced the numerous and cheaper F-16s. Thats why the US is letting everyone donate F-16s to Ukraine, its slowly being phased out anyways and every ally that gives their F-16s to Ukrainian will potentially buy new F-35s.
The interesting bit is the F-15 got a new model the F-15EX. Because its non-Stealth (infact one of the least stealthy planes ever) it is designed to carry a ton of weapons. So the Airforce realized they can fit giant missiles on it that cant fit in the F-22 and F-35 weapon bays (which hide non Stealthy missiles). Bigger missiles can either shot down satellites or fire hundreds of miles and just outrange the enemy. Which allows the stealth F-35 (not F-22) to fly closer to the enemy but use the F-15s further backs missiles, so the F-35s stay hidden and the F-15s safe fron return fire. The F-22 is too old to datalink with any other military systems, as its processor is just too old and doesn’t have any systems to do so.
Also the F-15EX being non-stealth has advantages with repairs and longevity of the aircraft. Planes require repairs after every flight and that Stealth skin peals off. Its not as bad as it once was but it takes a long time to make it stealthy again. The military has a ratio of what percentage of the aircrafts time is spent getting repaired, Stealth planes can be out of action over 40% of the time. When the F-15EX can potentially be ready to fly 90% of the time. Also aircraft have lifespans, most Stealth planes last about 6,000 to 8,000 flight hours before needing a life extension or being replaced with a new. The F-15EX is expected to last 20,000 flight hours as its a proven system designed to last. The military basically realized it was still very useful to them. It juat shifted from the aur dominance fighter to a missile truck.
Our doctrine is to design our aircraft for 50 years of air dominance. Part of that has to do with the time it takes to design, flight test, and deploy and part of it is for the manufacturer to recoup the cost of the contract through maintenance. Our combined arms warefare doctrine and land based platforms are predicated on air dominance. Our procurement strategy has changed to more frequent air frames and modular iterative hardware/software and multiple manufacturers focusing on their strengths. Along with advancements in manufacturing, modeling, and project management we are accelerating advancement and not having to live with compromises. Think back to the yf22 and yf23.
I was looking for a reply like this. I learned long ago that anything that is 'unveiled' to the public is already 20 years years old. I'm sure we have things that'll blow peoples minds in 10 years that are already flying, or manoeuvering in ways never seen before.
@@DjangoStock the f117 was being designed in the 70s and wasn’t unveiled officially until the late 80s after it had been operation for almost a decade. Fun fact is that some of them are being reactivated.
The b2 was being built in the 80s and is already being replaced by the b21. It will fly for a while longer but that should give you an idea of how far back these systems reach. However we are now not marrying systems with airframes so you will see more airframes in fewer numbers. The f22 is currently testing hardware for the ngad. Software can advance far more rapidly than airframes so there will be many more block upgrades. The software itself can be upgraded continually due to the open architecture we use accross platforms. It started with the f22 and continues with the f35 so weapons systems and capabilities can be upgraded across platforms
the F1Sex was developed by other countries who kept upgrading the F15, which means the US has minimal cost to create powerful missile boats that can be guided in by F-35 radars
Like most things, the US on paper is way ahead of most the world, it just lacks the money to make all the ideas happen.
Much of Chinas stuff has been stolen from the US and Russia.
The one to keep and eye on is Japan now.
The F-22 has a radar return signal about 3 times smaller than a US $0.01 cent (US penny coin). To achieve this, it's very expensive to maintain, which is estimated to be nearly $90k per hour. The NGAD (Next Generation Air Defense fighter) pushes the technology to the limits and will be cheaper to maintain.
Lets keep showing Andre some love.. He's getting closer to that 100 K which means his trip to the USA is getting closer....
The USAF is the *VERY FINEST* in the world! ❤
Chi s only make. Junk.
The F-22 is not a "bad" aircraft. It was so good, it was decided to make it illegal to export to allied countries. The F-35 is a great aircraft, but not good enough to outright retire the Raptors, too. Russia's SU-57 Felon is not a "true" competitor to the F-22 because there are so few of them made and rarely seen. The Chinese J-20 may be capable, but sources in the U.S. military don't see them as anything to be concerned about. The main reason the NGAD is desired so much is to maintain a significant advantage against Russia and China, even though the F-22 and F35 are still better. Don't be surprised if Russia and China are wanting America to develop the NGAD just for their hackers to get info for them to attempt to reverse engineer stuff for themselves (and still be at a disadvantage).
The F-22 is the Greatest Aircraft in the History of Military Aviation.
Tied with Canada's astounding Afro Arrow
@@davidcraigie3871 Just looked up your precious Afro Arrow and even in a dive during testing it capped out at 1.95 mach. Nice fairy tail you got going on about it going mach 2.5. Also Jet's no longer are designed with maximum speed in mind because combat has gone completely to BVR. It goes as fast as it needs to. You act like America couldn't have made a mach 3 or 4 aircraft with fighter capability. They have just never needed it to cause it would be pointless. The Mig 25 and mig 31 are both mach 3 capable and are ancient. Just a weird way to try to flex that your 70 year old plane could almost get up to mach 2 and it makes it on par with the f22 raptor? rofl
The F22 is probably the most fascinating aircrafts I have ever seen though I enjoy watching videos about any aircraft
When the plane came out, it was outdated. It was made with tech from the 1980’s. When the nighthawk became public knowledge for example, it was already getting phased out. Whatever the air force is flying at the moment for the important missions won’t be public until they know they have something better ready for action.
With the original version, some pilots experienced vertigo, it was said that it was a design flaw in the flaps and how they operated.
The year of manufacture tells you what technology the engines have.
The computer power of the weapons, sensors, and navigation systems are upgraded once a decade or more. From the 60s to the 2000s aircraft would regularly have their tech-weight cut in half, with lots of room for new “toys” thanks to shrinking computer sizes.
There’s a whole secondary weapons industry in the U.S. dedicated to upgrading everything from tanks to Air craft carriers.
I made the mistake of not checking to see if an Air Force base was nearby when I rented my apartment. I am under a mile and in the direct landing pattern of an Air Force base landing airport. Last week I had F-22s. Does it matter when they are buzzing the top of your roof over and over all day long? Actually, I often don't notice the fighter jets and other planes skimming the roof of my apartment that much, but I was outside, and running errands and when they are doing touch and goes and circling around fairly low all day long I noticed them. They are super loud, really cool to see, I mean from my front yard you can practically read the serial numbers on the landing gear. 😳🤯🤣😂🤣 So I started off sounding like I was whining a bit, but to be honest how often do you get to witness this kind of stuff regularly. Will I ever make this mistake again, NOPE! Do I regret living here? Not because of the fighter jets, Maybe because of the management, the huge bugs that come crawling out of my walls at night, but the jets are kind of cool!
Amen!
A family member briefly complained about the noisy jets when their spouse was stationed at Pearl Harbor. That is on the AMAZING Hawai'ian island of Oahu.
Realized what it meant, & quickly got over it.
I am 30 miles from an AFB, and I am still shocked sometimes because of their nighttime maneuvers.
Boise Airport is attached to the Idaho National Guard air station, which operates A-10s, but they host an air show every year and we had Thunderbirds making laps around the valley all day, but I only heard them when I was in the stadium for marching band and only saw one for a second 😂
I heard they had an F-22 at the show but I wasn’t able to make it out and I never saw it, unfortunately. I’m hoping to make it this year!
I can sympathize with the noise problem, I live next to Tinker Air Force Base.
My taste in aircraft design runs to the B-1 Lancer. A gorgeous shape.
Now that's a sexy plane!
Agreed
The F-22, F-35, and A-10 combo are the all star ⭐️ dream team and are un-matchedable by any competitors.
There was a guy that worked at area 51. He said if you think the stuff they're showing you now is cool? We're actually 50 years ahead of that.
If the F22 blew your mind look up the AT 802 Sky Warden. A group of guys from Texas decided to build a tactical crop duster and marketed it to America’s special forces command. It turned out to be a huge success. It’s also being used across Africa and the Middle East
That plane never fails to make me smile. It looks like it shouldn't work, it sounds like it shouldn't work, but it works (and a half!).
@@ArabianShark Who doesn’t love a tactical crop duster?
The Sky Warden is awesome! It's like a AC-130 and an Apache had a baby, and the baby's baby was special ops.
A what?! I'm looking it up now. 😂
..... 😮!
@@MsLhuntMartinez79 It’s an awesome little turbo prop plane. It can do everything the Warthog can do at the fraction of the cost. It’s actually better in many ways
Hello Andre' from Colorado!! Thank you for all your reactions, love them all my friend!! Have a fantastic day!! ☮
yes, F35 - A, B, and C models since they are literally different aircraft wearing a similar skin...
As simply as I can put it, the F-35 was made for export as a multi-role, "jack of all trades" fighter, the F-22 remains exclusive to the US and unmatched in air-to-air combat.
The F22 was introduced on 15 December 2005. 19 years ago. So, yes, it's not "new" but like you mentioned, it's getting constant upgraded and optimizations.
"on paper" is a real odd thing, China and Russia haven't managed to mass produce any 5th gen fighters. In USA, we have 2 5th gen fighters while working on design and development for a 6th gen fighter that doesn't even exist yet.
I love the joke that F-22 squadrons aren’t able to take out a squadron of foreign 5th gens simply because there are no foreign squadrons of 5th gen fighters 😂
If we've learned anything from the time gap of development/build/flight tests/public display....then we've learned that the NGAD has been fully tested years ago and they are already looking to the next gen fighters. They've had 20 years to develop the NGAD...which they started right after they dropped the F22 on the public. 😊
@@hitmixhyepock9405if you read between the lines, it appears as if lockheed martin had most of the tech ready in 2018 and was just waiting on a buyer for several months
Kinda like the boomerang shaped planes flying since the 70’s in the Nevada sky. F-117 comes out just in time for Desert Storm? Nope been flying since the Cold War.
F35 yeah you should but also look into the YF23. It was the direct competition to the F22 in early 2000"s
The YF23was a better Aircraft than the YF22
You mean the late 80's early 90s. That competition was well over by the 2000's.
@spuds416 in certain areas, yes, not all.
@@Sinkorswim1225 the main reason the Air Force chose the engines for the 23 they were underpowered
@@spuds416Actually the General electric engine in the YF 23 was much faster than the F22 with either engine. the range was superior in the Yf23 too.
did you know
The F-22 is one of 4 or 5 jets that has surpassed the Canadian Avro Arrow, a jet from the 1950's.
The Canadian Avro arrow was able to fly Mach 2.5. That's insanely fast for the 50's. Congrats on finally catching up to the Canadians 1950's tech. :P
Don't ever compare Canada to the us airforce
@@joshuamcdaniel3132 When you finally catch up to us from the 1950's ill shut-up :P
@@joshuamcdaniel3132 I think you're just mad because you now realize that your Air force was bested 70 years ago
when this program was canceled for being SO ADVANCED, many engineers took jobs with NASA; do you see the pattern here?
The avro ushered in:
the Delta wing
fuselage UNDER the wing
Mach tech
much of this tech is now used by the US
we did it first 70 years ago bro
I just watched a video comparing the J20 and the F22 which was crazy. The J20 carries a lot more armament and can fire from a longer range than the F22. What the F22 has over the J20 is its stealth is a lot better.
If they are replacing the Raptor dude, they better be making some bad ass plane because the Raptor is a beast! I just can't even imagine
You should react to the F22 demo team youtube channel! They have amazing footage of this beautiful plane preforming impressive maneuvers.
If and airframe is a good airframe it can stay in service for a long, long time. The World's premier fighter jet, at least until the F-22 came along, has been the F-15. The F-15 came into service in the early 1970's, and with various software and armament upgrades has remained dominant for 50 years. The F-22 is a long way from being ready for the scrap heap. The B-52 bomber has been in service for 60+ years and is still one of the World's best bombers.
The B-52 entered service in 1955; it's been starting and ending wars for the past 70 years (very nearly), and they want to keep it around at least until 2050, by which time it will have served for ninety five years. Most members of its crew don't live that long!
The F-15 is also getting her another upgrade to the F-15EX to help fill operational gaps until the NGAD gets closer to completion. At least it was. I have not seen any updates on the status of that recently though. Still, yeah, we build them to last!
The Felon aint shit.
Actually, you should play DCS before making that comment. I’m team Raptor, but don’t get cocky.
@@bri-manhunter2654even if it was better than the raptor it doesn’t have the numbers
@@Pubert-hu1sy. That is true.
@@bri-manhunter2654 I know, I would definitely take it.
Damn man, I didn't even know about DCS...appreciate that. Ain't got enough disk space though :)
With the F22 Rapture you have to read between the lines there is reason they never let anyone get their hands on a F22. The program was cancelled because it was so expensive.Its so good that they passed a law that forbids the sale of one to anyone.
The moment one gives close attention to anything, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
Yes 35 they have 3 versions as I mentioned in your previous video check out F-35 Air Force is better multirole but F-22 is the best in air to air fighter. F-35B is USMC Aviation on Amphibious Assault Ships they do just like Harrier Jets Vertical Jump Jets they Hover! F-35C is Navy catapult launch! F-35 is newer they are building many planes for 10-12 nations it is cheaper 187 vs like thousands of F-35's
Of course the F22 is better than the F35. The F35 is a jack of all trades. The F22 is an air superiority fighter
F-22 Raptor best in my opinion but heard F-35 is most advanced fighter jet
The F35 isn’t an air dominant fighter. It’s a jack of all trades attack aircraft. The F22 is built to clear the skies for the F35
F22 is air superiority fighter and the F35 is a multi role aircraft
Blue Angles are F18s, way cooler for airshow compared to f16. Every year my house gets buzzed for an airshow, super impressive.
If you have ever played a vr sim and flew an F35. The technology and simplicity of the UI to point, click and blow up multiple targets extremely quickly before they can see you feels like absolutely cheating.
I'm American and I'm not only proud of our equipment, I'm proud of military as a whole bc if somebody starts shit with any of our allies.. expect the red white and blue to be by our allies side within 3 business days anywhere in the world.
F-35 is the replacement of F-22. Once was driving 75 mph on freeway, when 2 F-22 Raptor were about 200 feet above me cruising around 80 mph. Following the freeway VFR. Navy F-18 Blue Angels and Air Force F-16 Thunderbirds.
No, the F-35 was designed to replace the F-18 and the F-16.. F-22's replacement hasnt been built yet.
F-35 isn’t a match for the F-22 at all. F-35 is honestly a shit box compared to the F-22. The F-35 design is compromised because of the vtol variant. It was designed to be a cheaper project that we would sell to nato allies. If we are designing it to sell it’s no where near as good as something we would never sell. The F-35 ended up being so damn expensive that if we would have kept making the F-22 it would have been significantly cheaper than the bloated subpar f-35. Literally thanks Obama for closing the F-22 project. Dumbest thing we ever did.
The Felon and the Mighty Dragon are not 5th generation fighters, they are generation 4.5. The Felon has been found out to not even have stealth. It's over 1,000 times less stealthy than the Raptor and the B-2 bomber. The Dragon has also been found out to be far inferior to the Raptor
The Dragons design is unstable. That’s why they had to add the little wings
@@jeffslote9671All good fighter aircraft are inherently unstable or they would not be as manueverable if they were stable.
@@rickmckee8270 True but the F22 and Eurofighters engineers didn’t have to add wings to make it stable enough to fly
@@jeffslote9671 Our fighter aircraft do not have additional wings (canards).they use fly by wire controls to make the planes flyable without the computers controlling the surfaces of ailerons rudders and horizontal stabilizers the
Planes would be unflyable.
@@rickmckee8270 That’s my original point
Air force is in a constant advance in aircraft evolution, I worked Sr 71 during g Vietnam Nam conflict, I like the f22 the best, ca t beaatthe skunk works for super aircraft..
America is the founder of 5th gen fighter jets and Bombers. Both Raptors and Nighthawk look amazing.
From Quora :
The upgrades are mainly in the avionics - helmet mounted display, advanced software, development of stealthy external fuel tanks, some classified components, etc. Sustainability is also included.
My wife works on the f22. She has been for 15 years. She is a "low observability specialist" or "stealth specialist"
F-22 first flight was 27 years ago. Put into service 19 years ago. USA considers air superiority a subject of national defence. Some 1 or 2 decades ahead I think is the aim. Requires constant testing of new hardware, and intel to know what will be coming from opposing countries.
When I first read about this plane years ago it was call the FY-22. Still an amazing bird.
NGAD stands for Next Generation Air Dominance. Back in the 1980's, the F22 was considered the NGAD. NGAD is simply referring to the next fighter to be put into production.
Also, the reason that the F-35 took over production is because 1: it's a lot cheaper to build and maintain than the F-22. 2: The F-22 has technology even the F-35 doesn't get, so it's not allowed to be exported, while the F-35 is currently America's largest fighter export. 3: The F-22 is strictly an Air Dominance aircraft, meaning it's a jet that takes on other jets. The F-35 is a multi-role fighter, meaning it can take on other jets, though not as well as the F-22, but it can also do roles such as bombing, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare such as Jamming enemy aircraft or ground radar.
While I was in the Air Force, I heard a Captain talk about the comparison of the F-22 and F-35. He said "If you put 10 F-16's against 1 F-35, all 10 F-16's would be shot down before they spotted the F-35. If you put 10 F-35's against 1 F-22, all F-35's would be shot down before they even knew they were in trouble."
20 years old but constantly upgraded and excellently maintained,not to mention the amount of hours each pilot has under their wings
the f-35 is a different aircraft, it has different capabilities and different mission sets. theyre not really comparable on a 1 to 1 sense. they both excel in their roles.
Subbed. Really enjoyed this, always cool to see other fighter enthusiasts, how on earth can it not match the J-20??? Also there was serious talk that the Eurofighter was more than a match for the Raptor….Man there’s some crazy stuff goes on, glad there’s alliances! 😂
The first prototype of the F-22 I believe was made in 1984 or 85... It was concerned an experimental until the mid 90s.. Didn't see action until early 2000s... It is certainly the most remarkable jet in history I think.
F-22 is an interceptor, whereas the f-35 is made for long-distance engagement..
The Blue Angels use a variant of the F/A-18. They are also operated by the world’s second largest Air Force, known as the United States Navy. Make no mistake, just because the air frame is 4th generation, it’s still a very capable and formidable air craft. The Air Force operates the F-16, and their show team are called the Thunderbirds.
I live 45 minutes from Pensacola Florida and I can vouch that the Blue Angels are bad ass. They are stationed in Naval air station Pensacola. Those folks are navy pilots and they are awesome
