Finally: Japan Brings Back To Life Modernized YF 23!

You said "hypersonic cruise", that is inaccurate. The requirement was supersonic, super-cruise. Meaning greater than Mach1 without activating the afterburners. The high bypass engines run very cool without the afterburner masking the jet's thermal signature.

So all I got from "JapAn iS briNginG bACk thE F23" is A RECAP OF WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW

Even highly knowledgeable very experienced leaders can be duped by magic tricks. The F-22 could do such a magic trick. Vectored thrust.

Half a mach faster, much lower RCS, it would have been a superior fighter able to dominate enemy airspace, and choose what to engage. Two weapons bays in the belly, a low risk approach.

We'll just ignore the fact that federal law doesn't allow the F22 to be exported even if we could make more

Poor production quality on an subject of interest. Too bad. Needs grammar and vocabulary modules. The AI sounds like a non-English speaking robot.
