That's a long time for the '18s and '111s to become absolute obsoletes, Grip... Don't complain.

No, at this point, I don't think the USAF is risking losing one of their $120 million superplane to a SAM.  If they're ever gonna use the F-22, it'll be a conflict with Korea or Iran ( to take out Iranian F-14s).

Oh, come on. The F-22 is invulnerable to Radar-guided, and it should be able to outmaneuver most others too, apart from that.

That was really funny, Gripen, and you're probably right.  I don't think Raptors would have any problem taking out those Iranian Tomcats.
