I would argue that the lack of any thermal sensors is actually a pretty big flaw.

F-35 tech being retrofitted onto the F-22B can't come fast enough.

It's not in the RAF.

>>33108730

>>33108723
It's too pointy on it's nose thingy.

>>33108732
It does technically have an IR MAWS for detecting incoming missiles in 360 degrees, but that's no EOTS / IRST / DAS

>>33108723
It's not the F-23

>>33108723
1980's design
Not enough made
Last good fighter designed and made in the USA before the country spiraled into Civil War over the issues of unlimited Somali immigration and men using the lady's rooms.

It's almost as good as the F35.

So literally nothing?

What a fucking waste. Is this shit even supposed to be operational, or was that just PR?

>>33112242
Loads better than the Eurofighter, Pak Fa, and J-21, those are hanger queens while the F-22 actually does something.

>>33112180
>>33112190
Crap, wrong thread, that's the F-35 I mean, the F-22's already dropping warheads.

>>33112242
That's pretty typical for a pure air-to-air fighter. F-106 was retired without doing jack-shit, F-22's gonna be the same.

>>33112526
Hopefully we get a small skirmish in the SCS that doesn't turn into full on war, so that we can see our new toys curb stomp poorly trained chinamen conscripts and copies of outdated Russian fighters.

Fingers crossed

>F-22's already dropping warheads.
A job a 50+ year old plane does just as well as the ISIS dirtbags don't have any air defence. All just so they can say the F22 did something.

If I'm going to clean out my dirty shed, I'm not gonna put on an expensive tuxedo.

Every part is just wrong
Paperwork is all 90s garbage
Tooling is junk

The computer system s are all 90s based.

Lotta flaws man.

All that will be falling from the sky is J-20 hot garbage. I'm literally flexing with anticipation of so many dead chinese pilots. My biceps and triceps have never been more defined. Stay anallyannihilated, chingchongchang.

It doesn't have the sideways facing AESA radars installed. Thanks Clinton.

>>33108723
It's not a starfighter, the objectively most aesthetically pleasing aircraft ever made, hence it's garbage.

>>33112864

You do realize that at the time the USA was operating over Syria without their permission and risked having their aircraft fired upon by them right?

Blame the human factor not the plane!

it can't generate power from the sun or wind in the event that the batteries are low and ground power is not available to start the engines

Eurofighter has been intercepting Russian aircraft since entering service. And bombing targets in the middle east since 2011.

>400 billion

>>33112975
You're about the 10th guy I've seen here claiming to work on the f-22 or f-35. I'm starting to think it's bullshit.

>>33113639
>bombing targets in the middle east since 2011
Eurofighter had to be flanked by Tornados to paint the targets, it can't operate alone as a bomber.
The only plane that did all its missions alone is the Rafale.

Cost.
Number produced too low.
Lacks modern IRST/EOTS/DAS.
Lacks bi-directional data links.
Short range.

Despite those flaws its still the best air-superiority fighter in the world.

>>33108730
There's a hole in her shorts and it ruins the entire webm.

Over 200,000 people are part of the F35 program.
Lotta people making parts senpai.

>>33113485
I can't go into detail, but every part requires a massive amount of rework to get it to pass QA.
We spend about 3 times longer on these parts than we should.

>>33113676

>1 person can't post on /k/ in multiple threads

>>33108723
I'm one of the guys who's been shitting all over the F-35 in the other thread, and honestly, there's not that much to complain about with the F-22. It's a solid aircraft that will last us until we finally get UAVs good enough to take over for them (which, admittedly, will be a while).

How about it takes eight months to build?

How will you replace losses in a high threat environment?

Oh that's right, the F16 line is mothballed and can build a plane in a week.

The adhesive in the helmets almost drove some pilots to insanity, so I guess its cursed.
