The purchase of the F-35 was the biggest Acquisition malfeasance in US military history. People should have gone to jail.
All the US hero talk is a joke. Why? The USA with its colonial wars outside the USA have never delivered a special performance. Either others had to bleed and the US stepped in when everyone else was down in the conflict, or the US fought wars like Grenada or Panama or other great armies that were hyped up by the US media and Hollywood to be in The USA was recognized as an enemy, while the rest of the world laughed (but not so loudly).
30 years after the YF-22 and YF-23 went against each other, there are still big arguments on the internets about the competition. Many still feel that the Northrop prototype should have won, I myself thought so too, but the more I researched the USAF decision to choose the Lockheed entrant the more I agreed with their selection. You see Northrop was already in the Pentagon's doghouse with a lot of contentious issues, the biggest one being the B2 bomber production and the cost overruns.associated with that program. When the Lockheed team demonstrated real time air combat capabilities of the YF-22 during a fly off there was no way the YF-23 was going to win the contract. If it were up to me I would have selected both aircraft to perform specific roles for the USAF. The F-22 would be the front line air superiority fighter as it is now, with the F-23 performing the interceptor, high altitude tactical reconnaissance, and deep penetration strike roles in keeping with its high speed and stealthy design. Funny thing is today's air combat requirements are now more inline with the F-23 performance parameters of stealth and BVR stand off engagements.
I agree that the YF-23 was better technologically, but with Northrop's reputation from the B-2, it's easy to see why they chose Lockheed.
F-23 was ahead of its time
Both airframes exceeded the requirements and where one had an advantage it wasn't significant and the plus and minus tended to work out pretty even. But then throw in the fact that the YF-22 had already successfully fired missiles where the -23 was far from that point in development....then add in the Air Force tending to like Evolutionary rather than Revolutionary and what they saw in the construction of the -22 was mostly well proven conventional stuff with the addition of stealth added in. Agreed that the Government was a little upset with Northrop and the cost over-runs and they didn't want to go through that again...new aircraft pose enough problems without going the more difficult route. The engines were in the same boat....I worked on the test units from P&W and we had people attending the fly-off so were getting regular updates on how things were going. As with the airframes...both engines more than met all requirements and the GE actually beat us in a couple areas...but not by much and the AF had sprung a new fan requirement that we didn't have in the test motors yet...so the performance would improve shortly and the differences weren't significant in the decision. Why P&W won the contract was because of how easy they were designed to be maintained and built....when the ground crew vote came up it was pretty much universal which engine package they'd rather work on and was the tipping point in the decision IMHO.
This video did mention that the YF-22 did not implement full radar absorbent material on its body and only the leading edges, so the whole debate about YF-23 being stealthier is just an opinion.
That’s what happens when fighter jockeys pick the winner. Good thing Lockheed was so good at delivering
I still can't believe that the f22 is almost 30 year's old
30 years and still not even a close adversary in sight, the J20 is like a flying bus in comparison to a bee (F22) when it comes to stealth. The SU57 is still in development with a stock of 10 planes.

This fighter jet is a beast
I loved the F-14, and hated that the cost of maintenance per flight hour was the nail in the cofin.
I wonder what's the opinion of the pilot(s) who have been trained and flew BOTH F-22 and F-35, to perhaps better compare them?
Very impressive 👏 thank you for making the video.

Fascinating, information Tresure house !
Korean airline 007 shoot down was unforgivable stupidity. You scramble two fighters and escort the off track Korean liner trying to save time back into international airspace. Simple.
Iran air 655 shot down by US July 1988. By the USS Vincennes! Why didn’t they make sure it wasn’t civilian? Just call it and ask! Simple!
@@billpugh58 never knew about this incident because it was before my time but same thing… scramble your F-15s for surveillance but don’t always be so trigger happy. International UN intervention and guide that lost or damaged flight back to safety or the proper airspace. We know the US military are idiots (e.g. Vietnam War) but I expected more from the Russians who were first in space!
Awesome documentary 👍👍
Thanks a ton!

Thank god we didnt end up woth that Guppy Fish lookin option 😂
Out of all the planes I flew, the F-22 being my last one I logged in? Is no doubtl my favorite!...at least until the new Xbox came along.
Let's get the job done
Then watching it hover is amazing
Work with me or kill me, which action is the more productive?
Begging your captain pardon, you stated that the F22 and F35 fighters planes radar signatures shows up as a small bird on the emey radar screen. What type of present day living bird can fly vertically cruising at 100 to 400 miles per hours? Anyway you can take the family Desoto station wagon equipped with a radar detector and count the time and distance that the small bird radar signal is traveling across the screen determine a actual fighter jet or living bird mammal . Modern radar is supposed to detect the size weight speed and angle of travel on all targets on its screen. Friends or Foes will both seek to develop and advance their radar systems to do so.
F35 looks like the F22's fatter little brother.
The sr-71 flew above and right through the missile “threat”.
It seems that the only way to try to "catch" it would have been a frontal attack. I cannot recall how many 1,000s of missiles they unsuccessfully shot at the Blackbird 😎
We did have a Blackbird shot down tho
@@matthewkoster9967 Not that I know of. Can you please specify where and when an SR-71 was shot down? There are certainly Blackbirds that crashed, but not shot down.
@@matthewkoster9967 Nope. Never happened.

I cant decide which of the 2 i like betterrrrr... The F-22 is like the big brother of the F-35 but the F-35 have VTOL and carrier compatible but the F-22 has a really good reputation along side the F-15 ITS SO HARD TO DECIDE
The F15 is an example of the top of the line ,but the F 22 will have any adversary flying blind until it's too late ! Their going to have a VERY BAD DAY not knowing why !!!

Nah that's an F15
This jet has a short shelf life economics did it in.
Gen. Mike Hostage and Gen. Bogdan said the F35 is stealthier than F22. Plus some stealth features from F35 were later implemented on Raptors.
The abilities that are still classified Top Secret, let me find out that the Raptor pilot can frequency hack enemy radar and play Pacman on enemy's radar screens. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ultimately won the day is just another way of saying we had more losses than expected
They ain't saying, but the F-23 is a superior bird. Just cost got it turned down.
The F-35 Lightning II is always my #1 priority
The f35 is 3 different designs that share parts.
They better restart the line; before we're speaking Russian on Chinese.
👍
Where's the stealth in flight tankers?
It's no way better.....for Air to Ground Combat
Raptor is such a badass name.. Lightning II is such an awful name lmao
I thought that that the F35 was a joint strike fighter project?
Alex, that is correct. The F-35 is the result of the JSF project.
F 22raptor is powerful
What happened to the pilot?
In hindsight, f23 is the better jet in today's environment but would've been more expensive and in reality, overkill. F22 is still the most dominant jet in use by a large margin and its been over 20 years. It's almost like the USAF knew what they were doing😂
Still have the A-10 ????
Not for much longer, James. The A-10 is only viable today against enemies that don't have an air force such as ISIS and the Taliban.

It is, they have been a partner in the program since the start

@@Dronescapes21:37
It's funny how the USA old military aircraft (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18) still beats everybody else, even Russia and China. And now Stealth is involved? This shows that the pilot with outstanding training still wins.
Wrong. The su 57 is unbeatable
Absolutely superior pilot training is key to making any combat aircraft as efficient and effective as possible
A video is misleading. YF-22 did not beat YF-23 "in a number of crucial performance areas." Only in one - it was "a little bit" more manurable. In every other aspect, YF-23 was better performing plane. A specjały in stealth characteristics, YF-23 was stealthier by far.
Still the best around to bad they made so few bìg mistake
The F-22 should be what we are still building and updating. The F-35 has too many negatives in comparison. For anyone that thinks we don't need actual fighter jets, that's only because we haven't been to war with a country that has an actual airforce. If we had to fight China, their j20 will destroy the F-35. Just as the Russian SU57 would. But neither can truly compete with a well trained pilot and the F-22. The only upside of the F-35 are it's electronics. Add those same electronics to the F-22, and no one would be able to touch it. I still don't understand why our gov't decided to stop it's production and start building the F-35. Other than the big war machine can make more money by selling F-35's to other countries.
Because there was nothing for the F-22 to fight. The collapse of the USSR came as a surprise to all and instantly evaporated the F22's purpose for existing. Instead the govt focused its assets on the lessons learned from Desert Storm about how pivotal stealth was to air defense systems and mission successes as well as the importance of integrated sensors. They migrated the technology of the F22, improved it, then applied it to what would be the next "lo" fighter in the hi-lo mix; however you do that you're going to end up with an F35. It's easier to maintain, cheaper to operate, and much more flexible in its mission set than the Raptor ever could be because it was made with air superiority in mind. If you've heard pilot accounts you'll understand why the Air Force is asking for as many of them as they can possibly get within their budget; they put their lives on the line in these aircraft and don't hesitate to call out issues, so when they shower it with praise and get 20-1 kill ratios at flag exercises and are the only aircraft that can tango with the Raptor you can expect it to be pretty well worth it.
F35 is a useless scam it has no stealth just small radar presence
The f22 was not made with the modular set up of the f35. As a air sup. fighter nothing then nor now can match the f22. But upgrades are limited in the f22, and what can be done is $$$$. The f35 was made to be upgraded as new tech became avail. The version or" block" that is flying now(f35) is already better than the block that was flying 4 yrs ago. And what will be flying in 2025 will be better still. Upgrade combatibility were one the demands the d.o.d made.. the next engine that will be powering the f35 in the next 4 years will produce 25% more power combined with 25 to 30% increased eff. The eye will be on directed energy weapons and that new engine along with better electronics suite will allow that. Also supercruise. The 2025- 27 will be closer to 6th gen than 5th gen. As far as going up against chinas j20...when they get an engine that is close the raptors or the f15ex then maybe they will have something. ( as is j20 can not supercruise, and is lo observ, not close to the f22 nor f35. And the russians cant seem to make more than the 7 su 57s that are flying now. Also, that jet has an even higher radar cross section than the j20. All that said, i love the f22, and the mistake was not making the 300 - 360 aircraft that should have been made not the 180 we got! ( thanks obama) although it wasnt just his dumb dec...many pentegon usaf generals wanted to start the f35 program sooner than originally planned...thus causing some of delay, and issues. With more f22 's they could have gone slower and might have avoided some those problems.
@@jimkluska253 The purchase of the F-35 was the biggest Acquisition malfeasance in US military history. People should have gone to jail.
F-22 can’t be upgraded with the f-35s electronics hence why a new program have been started to replace the f-22
The F-22 can already be considered obsolete without modernization. In a networked air war, not even the F-35 and F-22 are able to communicate covertly with each other. All the American talk about their invincibility just gets on your nerves. The USA has known this for 30 years If you have not met a serious opponent, they should carefully avoid this.

Freedom of Information Act
Should've built both the F-22 and the F-23
👍
Fully agreed! Both fighters were too damn good to not be selected. If they had also selected the F-23 they wouldn't have had to prioritize immediate production of that aircraft, but over time wring out whatever technology and high speed performance issues with deployment pushed back at a later date compared to the Lockheed Martin aircraft.
That was thought of. Too expensive. Even after these planes are built you still need maintenance and replacement parts. The cost of building them both and the cost of maintenance/parts would of been way too taxing on us. It was a logical decision.
What a ridiculous waste of money that would have been!
The F-15 is the "bad-ass" of the sky's with a 104-0 ratio of combat kills. Half of which are from the Israeli Air Force. An entire wing was removed/ripped off, in an air to air collision and the F-15 still travelled over 10 miles home and landed safely in Israel. The F-15 EX is possibly the last generation of it, but it has become the predominant best all time air to air fighter of all time, bar none. I only hope the F-22 and the F-35 can equal it in time, if only to deter air to air combat and maintain peace through strength. Don't do it China, Iran, and Russia.
Literally not built for a fight the F-16 or a A10 could handle that fight
These F35's are NOT made for 'dogfighting' If you want to dogfight you are better off with the F16's
It’s so totally working for dogfights just check out air shows where they show of the jets insane maneuvering it even rival’s f-22 in some manufacturing by being able to preform some specific maneuvers that was thought trust vectoring was needed to do, but f-35 manages to complete them without it. You are allowed to have your opinion but check it out and you’ll hopefully be pleasantly surprised.
I believe it's meant to blow up the enemy fighter jet before it even has a chance to "dogfight".. at least that's what I think I have been researching lol
No F15’s and F 22’s
😂😂😂 might 31 can travel Mach 3 Yeah that 16 it'll do real 👍 good
F16s have better sustained turn rate in a turning fight, but the F35 has a better instantaneous turn rate and higher AOA capability but it would have problems if it lost too much energy. Depending on what it’s up against, they both have strengths and weaknesses that need to be managed by the pilot.
I'd like to see planes that can be built in the thousands. I guess the f-16 could foll that. Germany lost WWII because they couldn't build fancy aircraft in numbers.
There will be several thousand F35s in the world.
@Bill Pugh there were 15,000 P51s built in just a few years. China now has the manufacturing capability to build 10s of thousands of planes not quite as good as an f35.
@@flashgordon3715China is going to build 10s of thousands of stealth fighters??? LOL! Based on their current estimated rate of production (50/year), it will take them 20 years to build a mere 1000 stealth fighters.
A brief biography of the F22 and why this aircraft will be retired, according to the Pentagon---the F-22 was originally developed to counter the Soviet Su-27 Flanker - a fourth generation air superiority fighter which entered service in 1984 and was considered unrivaled in its capabilities at the time. The American fighter had a much shorter range than the Su-27, and lacked helmet mounted sights meaning it could not engage targets at extreme off boresight angles as the Flanker could.Some of the most serious problems with the F-22 concerned its avionics, with the fighter's computer architecture effectively obsolete by the time it entered service due to very long program delays. 25 years after its first flight, the F-22 still cannot share data with other fighters, a huge drawback in the age of network-centric warfare, and cannot fire any off-target weapons due to the lack of mounted helmet sights, which leaves it effectively obsolete in battle with a visual scope. The lack of features such as infrared search and track systems or distributed aperture systems.The fighter is also struggling to integrate new technologies that are vital to enable it to take on high-end rivals like the J-20 or Russia's Su-57, such as helmet-mounted sights and advanced data links that ruled by almost all other modern fighter classes today.The F-22 ultimately failed to be a practical design to replace the F-15, and while a number of analysts considered the program a failure, the announcement that the very expensive and relatively new aircraft would see a very early retirement while the F-15 not only service, but remains in production, is a testament to the fact that the F-22 is not a practical fighter. The continued burden on the F-15, which was designed in the 1960s, testifies to the failure of the F-22 program.

It was said in the video it underwent 10 million hours of analysis? That's 1141 years idk why that was said. Lol
I prefer the typhoon jet It's faster than both of them jets we've got this jet it's very overrated
I really love the delicious irony of the F35B being powered by an admittedly greatly developed Russian engine design built under licence by a British company with licence fees going to NATO’s first or second place primary enemy depending on your political views. All that and a stunning example of how you can build a masterpiece overseen by a well managed committee. The normal product of a committee is an abomination to behold. I am lucky enough to be based close to the primary base of the British F35 activity.
F22 can’t be exported due to its unique stealth capabilities. The F35 has the same stealth capabilities. The F35 is available for export.
A good way to expend the business
my opinion, F22 allows F35 to be exported, it can take them down like nothing.
@propliner It won't be necessary for F-22s to be able to "take down" F-35s because we are only selling the latter to our allies.
Most fighter pilots think F35 has superior capabilities than the F22. The ones who have flown both. It’s like comparing iPhone 4 ( F22) & iPhone 14 pro ( F35) F22 has no open architecture & difficult to upgrade
Why were you showing the F14 tomcat and talking about the F15?…

the F-22 is a very god plane but it was it´s firtst of the kind, and did suffer from what is called childhood problems, when they got ironed out the nexts gen. fighters was on the way, thought i think we shoud not abonned the plane just yet, but the f-35 and whats comming will be better, but it´s because of the f-22, and the f-22, was a 4nd gen. fighter, i am sorry to say, but you don´t out maneuver air deffences, you rely on sead mission to take out the threat, this video does not tell the truth behind air combat, it´s more of a propeganda, then it is tellin the truth, the F-35, is based upon the expirences of the f-14, the 1-16 and the famous a10, plus the knowgede gained with the f-117, it´s the first 5nd gen. figther/bomber, also know as multi role fighter the west has come up with, and it is way superior, to any present threat out there
Jd4200, you're very wrong about the F-22 being a 4th generation design. Have you bothered to read the definitions of 4th generation and 5th generation jets? There is no such thing as a 4th generation fighter with the stealth features possessed by the F-22. Also, the F-35 was in no way even partially based on the A-10.
Never understood why wer selling them to other countries the F-35s
F-35 is being jointly built with some of our allies in order to share the research and development costs. Another reason we are selling these to our allies is so that we can more easily integrate their forces with our own when we have to fight a common enemy in the future.
Good video but it’s a little bias to the American jets a few misinformation parts but overall god video
Yf-23 by far the better plane! But Lockheed having the blackbird stealth bomber and fighter gave them the upper hand in my opinion.
Swedish aircraft every time, the F35 is like a WW2 tiger tanks with the same problem…it’s far to expensive to operate and runs out of fuel 1000 km earlier
Fuel no problemo just some Air refueling and of it goes again
The combination of F15s, F18s, F22s and the F35 with the Awacs is far too much for any adversary the U.S. has by a long shot.....The U.S. can blanket any location on Earth and completely dominate land sea and air....
Yeah rite 😂😂😂😂 number 1 fighter jet in the world without any combat experience. Only in papers 😂😂😂😂. Never been used against any air defence but its no.1 😅😅😅😅.
You're a fool. You think that the U.S. should send the F-22 into unnecessary air battles just to make it legitimate in the eyes of morons like you? If you're an American, then you are an embarrassment to the rest of us.
Give me a an A-10 any day over the F-35, for troop support!
Not really comparable as ones a fighter and the other is an attack aircraft.
The A-10 isn't as good an aircraft as the Army perceives it to be: the gun is useful for morale but not necessarily effective against the heavily armored targets it was designed for, being relegated to deal with lighter armored vehicles and strafing that could realistically have been done by just about anything else...especially an AC-130. The real tactical benefit for the Air Force was its ability to put bombs on target, which was difficult for an aircraft whose targeting systems were named so rather optimistically. The F35 has plenty of payload, support for carrying SDBs/Stormbreakers up to GBU-24s, and realistically makes the most sense for all the customer nations as they wouldnt want or be able to afford to operate an entire other aircraft strictly for attacker roles.
It wouldn’t survive above a modern battlefield fighting real opposition.
The A-10 is overhyped by Hollywood movies and videogames to be an invincible tank killing machine. But in reality, it's inferior to the AC-130 and practically useless in air superiority is not established. The A-10 can't even beat the Skyhawks, they will be massacre by MIG21s. The F35, on the other hand, are clearly more capable taking care of themselves in the face of air threats and also capable of fulfilling the same ground attack missions as A-10's.
give me manpads any day to take away troop support. against talib@n, alqÆda and any t0wel head groups yeah A-10 is amazing, other than that attack helos are better on a sam contested battle space, they even used 2 AH-64 on the opening attack of operation desert storm and fired the first missile that took out a radar site.
Both jets are very flawed. The Western supporters tried to degrade Russian SU57, but it turned out it's a much better jet than F22 and F35. For reference. The USA' best stealth technology was downed by the mighty Serbs with 60 years old technology. If such an old system could destroy the USA' best stealth bomber, what can do today's advanced system.
The world's most expensive balloon popper
Wait until you really need the F-22. I get it, it is entertaining making the redundant balloon joke, which, as you can imagine, has been made countless times since the event, but you never know what may lie ahead.
@@Dronescapes I have the FACT that a balloon is infact the ONLY air to air kill. $285 BILLION to shoot down a $12 hobby balloon. And for the spynese balloon . We already did need it and it was no where to be seen. F22's are in Alaska and could have ended it before it began. So yeah we did need it ! Any defense
I am soooo sick of the stupid balloon jokes. 😠
@@pike100 what a timely response. Did you send it via balloon
holy crap there are a lot of anti american commercials on these videos
They are chosen by KZhead, and for some reason you might be targeted by specific advertisers because your profile probably is probably fitting their target audience
