THen do a video of a F-22 taking the shit out of China's latest fighter jet. You'd think China would have at least CGed a decent video. I mean you could easily fake a fighter jet being blown up, hollywood does all the time. Also the news cast didn't explain what happened to the other pilot I didn't see him jetison, so Chinese pilots are now taking each other out in training excersizes? |
I woudln't think he'd want to talk up American fighters when he basically cut off all new funding for more badass super fighters.
I think out of the 200 or so we were supposed to have produced under his presidency we'll end up with 19.
I mean, I get it though... It's not like we're even remotely likely to go to war vs any other airforce of any significance... and even if we did we should have plenty of time to gear up and build more.
We aren't likely to even get into another Iraq or Afghanistan. At best we'll end up in the "Clintonian" style wars... where while we used pretty top of the line Airplanes, I think we were just dropping bombs that were about to be scheduled for destruction anway. (Unfortunionitly including cluster missles.)
F-22's would really only matter if we went up against like... the EU or a similar power. Those things are crazy if the documentries i've seen on em are true.
They're supposed to be so badass that one can take out an entire squadron of any other plane in existence.
