  The F-22 was the Airforce’s Dreadnought moment. A weapon so far in advance of anything else in existence that it made everything else obsolete overnight.

  “How the Soviets answered the F-22:” <br><br>by being so scared of it they stopped existing before it became operational

  It&apos;s almost unbelievable that the F22 has been in the skies for nearly 30 years.

  The only thing the Mig 1.44 was ever ahead of the F-22 on was in probability to program cancellation.

  Actually the su47 was a technology demonstrater that did ask the question what if the wings were swept forward but was never meant to go into full production especially after they found out that the plane really couldn&apos;t go above mach 1 without the wings wanting to flip back the other way

  The fact it carried its weapons externally means it would have blown up in prodigious numbers after being shot by a raptor it never saw

  The F-22 has room for improvement.<br>There are all kinds of atmospheres on other planets that it could be optimized for.

  I love how their answer was something that had no stealthy characteristics whatsoever. Its like the Soviet High command forgot that BVR missiles existed, were already reasonably accurate, and had the MiG OKB to design something whose only usefulness was in being an aerial target for AMRAAMs.

  A separate video dedicated to the Su-47 Berkut would definitely be appreciated, Simon. &nbsp;Looking forward to it!
