F-22 Raptor: Why It Still Reigns Supreme in the Sky

Even after two decades, the F-22 Raptor remains the yardstick for air superiority fighters. Some critics say it’s aging, but those who’ve flown or fought alongside it know better. Stealth is more than a radar cross-section number. It’s about how quickly and how long you can stay undetected. The F-22 supercruises at nearly Mach 1.8 without afterburners, giving it the ability to engage and disengage before an enemy even registers its presence. When compared to Russia’s Su-57, which still struggles with reliable production and engine tech, or China’s J-20, which borrows heavily from Russian designs and lacks operational testing, the F-22’s combination of speed, stealth, and sensor fusion remains unmatched. More importantly, the pilots using the F-22 trust it to control the skies with lethal precision. It’s not just a fig #Military #F22 #AirDominance

F-22 Raptor: Why It Still Reigns Supreme in the Sky

Fighter jet specs don’t win dogfights. Situational dominance does—and the F-22 still owns it.

People act like the F-22 is past its prime. That’s how you know they’ve never talked to a pilot who’s flown one. This jet doesn’t need an update. It just needs the green light to fly. It’s so stealthy, most radar operators don’t even know they’re being watched. It supercruises at Mach 1.8. It can launch, strike, and be gone before you realize what happened. The Su-57? Barely operational. The J-20? Fast, sure—but still built on old Russian engines. The Rafale and Eurofighter? Good jets—until they run into something that sees them but stays invisible in return. The F-22 doesn’t just dominate the air. It rewrites the rules the moment it takes off. #Military #F22 #AirDominance

Why the F-22 Still Owns the Sky

Everyone loves to talk about the F-35. It’s new, it’s expensive, it’s everywhere. But here’s the truth: when it comes to pure air dominance, the F-22 Raptor is still the top dog—and every serious pilot knows it. Forget all the flashy systems and cost spreadsheets. Air superiority is about this: "Who sees first. Who fires first. Who leaves alive." The F-22’s radar cross-section is so small it disappears on enemy screens before it even locks on. It supercruises without afterburners. And it turns inside anything that dares to get close. Russia’s Su-57 and China’s J-20? Both are chasing shadows. One’s barely in serial production, the other’s flying with engines they didn’t even build. The only reason the F-22 isn't exported is because it's too good. We don’t want anyone else flying it. That should tell you everything. #Military #F22 #AirDominance
