Why US Retiring F-22 Raptor Is a Good Thing

Did you know

The F-22 is without a doubt the scariest thing to ever prowl the skies. Its sophisticated sensor suite can detect enemies passively at hundreds of miles away, and engage them with missiles long before they even realize they’ve been targeted. Despite competition from China and Russia, its stealth remains only second to its B2 stealth bomber cousin, targetable to most enemy platforms only within two or three dozen miles. With the ability to supercruise without afterburner, an F-22 can get into the fight fast, without even giving the enemy a chance to know it’s coming.
