Another thing, the F-22 is in full production and we already have squadrons of them serving, the Su-47 appears to be headed back towards the design boards, I always have problems comparing a functioning aircraft to hypothetical ones, for now I think it is safe to say the F-22 is unrivaled in the skies and will remain that way for quite a while. However more and more and I am starting to think that we should have further upgraded our existing aircraft and instead of building the F-22 built the F-23. Not Boeing's rival to the F-22, but in this case meaning we wait another 10-15 years, allowing the technology to improve even further and then design and build a new aircraft.
Please note that 98% of what I say is my opinion and/or my "version" of the facts. Most of what I say is rumor with little to no evidence to back it up, just something I picked up somewhere. My City |
