Why F-22 Raptor Still Reigns Supreme

Today's epic military video is all about the most elite killing machine in the skies, the F-22 Raptor. This fighter jet is unmatched by any other weapon patrolling the open sky, and in today's video we're going to show you exactly why!

Are we gonna ignore the fact that The Infographic Show just declared war between China and the USA?

It’s really amazing, within the span of about 50 years we went from having planes that had to dogfight within a mile of each other, now planes don’t even see each other and are hundreds of miles away and fighting. Unreal

"Why the F-22 still reigns supreme"
Because the first hint that they're there is when you see your wingman blow up. And you realize that you're next.

Cause he's Starscream, the true leader of the Decepticons.

Why couldn't the fighter jet pilot communicate with his co-pilot?

*He hadn't broken the sound barrier yet.*

[sethmaki]

Anyone else notice the "F22" silhouette is actually the F35?

Your story sounds like you have been playing Ace Combat for a quite long time....

There is a story floating about of an F22 escorting a drone close to Iran. Earlier Iran had simply harassed one into submission after downing one months earlier. This time Iran had sent up a couple of its F4s to render it useless. The escorting 22 snuck up under one of the F4s to check its weapons load and then canopy rolled up aside it and the 22 pilot told the Iranians that they should really consider going home. They did. They had no clue that it was there.

The information received by the drone to the plane and then sent to the missiles that have already been fired is seriously impressive!

I personally prefer the F-23 Brontosaurus or the F-24 Triceratops.

It's more likely that some F-35s would be deployed as well. They're cheaper, there's far more of them, and as far as sharing information across platforms, the F-35 is basically a super sonic AWACS itself. ESPECIALLY if there's a follow up air to ground attack, the F-35 is clearly the best option. The F-22 is a better air to air fighter, and would probably be deployed, but it's guaranteed that it would be paired with some F-35s.

fun fact: when a plane is flying, it is not on the ground

[c_marts]

I worked as a maintainer on the F-22 for 6 years. Pretty awesome plane I will say

[SuperAspergersMan]

80s tech still dominating in the 2020s. Shows just how ahead of the time the f22 is.

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

I need one of these to patrol my woods

F-22: *Listens to Kenny Loggins Danger Zone*
A-10: *Blasts Van Halen's Eruption at 11*

8:13 nobody’s gonna bring up the fact that Bigfoot is casually walking in the bottom right corner?

[Zeezke]

Pair the F-22 with the F35 and you have the ultimate air/ground attack combo. And the F35 can lock on with out alerting enemy fighters providing that data to F22 to fire without alerting them. The F35 can also provide radar jamming to even further widen the capability gap between the two countries. Not being as capable in dogfights, the F35 would excel in supporting the F22

[mrpigeo]

the Chinese didn't expect the F-22..

but do you know what no one expects?
