The development and phase-in of the F-22 was an enormous waste of resources.

Dude.

But why are you holding a ladle to talk about technology?

>> No.8192370

Ladles are technology. At the very least, you need a lathe to make one. In most cases, entire factories are dedicated to their creation, with all the machinery such a place contains.

But the F-22 Raptor is supposed to be the greatest combat jet of all time.

Of all time.


Well I guess we don't honestly need such high-end equipment in this modern era where a true war seems so unlikely to occur in the coming decade or more.

And furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed.

military hardware in general is a waste of resources.
The only reason a country has to upgrade its fighters is because some bureaucrat needs a reason to justify their existence, and of course because some other country's bureaucrat has done the same.

The F-22's main selling point is its passive stealth. And that could be zeroed-out tomorrow by advances in detection tech.

The F-14D, on the other hand, sported superior range and maneuverability, with comparable top speed and weapon compatibility.

Top Gun came out 30 fucking years ago. The F-14 was outdated, deal with it.

I, for one, found AC6 to be rather dissapointing.

>> No.8192487

Why do autists love military history/hardware statistics so much?
