20 1 1 February, 195 and the last F-22 went offline (***8 testing machines and 187 standard models). On April 14, 2009, US Air Force Secretary Michael? Donley and Chief of Staff Norton? General Schwartz said, "Buying more F-22s means that there are fewer other things that can be done, and there are many other key and urgent needs in the Air Force budget."
First of all, the only countries that may be equipped with heavy-duty fifth-generation aircraft in the future are China, Russia and India, which have limited financial resources. T-50? And then what? FGFA? (India? "Domestic"? Two-seat version? T-50)? Are all the planned purchase quantities here? 200? There are no more frames than F-22. The future world pattern will be very stable in the big environment. The hot spot that may cause large-scale armed conflict between the two sides of the strait in the near future is only Taiwan Province Province, but it is also in this environment that the F-22? It's useless, and the weakness of insufficient voyage is exposed. Even from Taiwan Province province? Close at hand? When the Kadena base in Okinawa or Clark Air Force Base in northwest Manila took off and the F-22 carrying out air control mission arrived over Taiwan Province Province, the fuel situation was already very tight and it could only fight for a short time. Moreover, Kadena and Clark bases are too close to China, so they are vulnerable to various offensive air defense forces including tactical/theater ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, long-range tactical attack aircraft and special forces.
Finally, there are only two models of F-22: YF-22A and F-22A. Both the F-22B and F-22 navies were cancelled in the 1990s.
