Such an advanced and expensive weapons system. Sadly only air to air kill so far has been a Chinese spy balloon. For air to ground missions with weapon bays fully loaded and super cruise speeds has the combat radius of maybe 440nm? or around the 2x the range of an EV Chevrolet Silverado?
There's no accurate answer to "what is the best fighter jet" because we know so little about the 5th gens.
The F-22 doesn't have significantly better qualities than the J-20 or Su-57, and vice versa. No, the F-22 doesn't excel in RCS figures.
The F-22 is decades old now, too, so the technology is going to be at least a little behind the rest of the world.
You can't truthfully say something is 'the best in the world' when we have a bunch of evidence that the F-22 doesn't stand out from the crowd that much.
One day that will declassify some clandestine stuff it did. We gonna be eating solid foods by then, but our descendents will think it's neat for a weekend.
I don’t know man, if there was an adversary that lost a military air craft via shoot down I’m pretty sure we’d hear about it. Now blowing up some ground based stuff, sure it probably has some of those kills. Which just goes to show the real power of this platform, the best weapon is one you never have to use.
These high res, stabilised aircraft videos always freak me out for some reason. It's like an uncanny valley thing where my mind tells me it's supposed to be shaky and low detailed.
I mean, I don't think that image stabilizer which is a very expensive lens that stabilizes shake would help you track a fighter plane to THAT extent, the GUY is still moving the camera around... and a golf ball moves a bit slower than a fighter jet in that regard. Dude still probably has some human skill in hand-eye coordination to keep the ball in frame, it's not automatic.
After working with classified stuff in the Navy, I totally lost any faith in UFO/alien conspiracies.
The military isn't competent enough to keep aliens hidden. Some air force E-4 would have posted a ton of alien selfies to Myspace back in the day to impress girls.
... its like asking, why do we have evil people in politics? why are good people rare to find in politics and in power?
Its because its alot easier to max quality record something that ur prepared for... likewise with evils that been groomed to rule, long lineage of evils to dominate, keep rest in submission and ignorance... seldom do we see truly good person rise up in clarity before corrupted or diminished, likewise a footage's of reality beyond what were taught to acknowledge.
Whoever had the idea to make the fighter jets fucking flash the audience during airshows is probably responsible for setting back world peace by a century.
The opposite. It's a non combative way to deter aggression.
You know about those Russian and Chinese jets that flew over US territory up in Alaska? You come by in a Raptor and flash them the bay, and if they aren't suicidal they'll mind their own business.
The clarity of these videos is genuinely unsettling, like seeing a ghost in perfect HD. My brain also expects the classic shaky cam, so this feels almost unnatural. Can't even imagine the physical toll it takes on the crews working in those tight spaces.
