Case in point the Patriots ... no one wants . The F35 is still riddled with lots of unsolved problems but forced into service...etc Fact is that no stealth plane can claim superiority over the other as long as there is no battel between the two. As to the numbers, China did not mass produce their J20 because of the delays in their engines. Now that they have solved that rest be assure they are mass producing it and when China makes anything from subs , ships to carriers, they can out produce any country in the world by many folds. So now China is mass producing their J20s with latest tech and latest designs and will more than match US stealth planes in numbers and quality. That is China you are talking about .... I do qualify ... J20 too had not been proven to be able to take on the US stealth planes no matter how high tech they are as there had been no one to one fight so far.

The F-22 is not more stealthy than the F-35!!! In 2005, the USAF said the F-35 would be about twice as stealthy as the F-117, and slightly more stealthy than the B-2. But a few years ago General Hostage of ACC said the F-35 was actually more stealthy than the F-22. That left a lot of people scratching their heads, since the F-22 has more disciplined shaping. It’s probably due to fiber-mat which Lockheed Martin announced in 2010, as a breakthrough stealth material. Not only did it make stealth easy and cheaper to maintain, (Full stealth for 40 years) it was probably excellent at absorbing radar waves at all frequencies…... This means the F-35 has an RCS of at least .0001M2.

[@mikekopack6441]

Not true at all... F-22 is def more stealthy. The f-35's 3rd gen stealth coatings are easier to apply and maintain than the F-22's (which are crazy expensive). But the F-22 is still a more stealthy design overall.

@@mikekopack6441 Both General Bogdan, former F-35 program director, and General Hostage, former ACC commander, have said the F-35 is more stealthy than the F-22.

Globally and locally the obvious painful errors of the authoritative left are bringing tremendous values to a lot of what has been taken as granted, mainly freedom and the matching politics. We can say that factual experiences have opened some doors to many, but the time has come to have things back to a normality which hopefully will not be taken for granted this time and that on going actions and narratives will follow.

IRST is put on a plane as counter to a super low RCS plane. So it's either USAF is being proactive if ever Russia or China managed to do that or Russia already did But a huge problem still remains esp if US will dance against China whether or not their J-20 & J-31 are knockoffs. Afaik, F-22 hugely depends on a proper airbase & long well prepared runways to operate. China will simply rain down their very low-cost strike missiles to target airbases (or even just damage runways) on Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Guam, etc to neutralize F-22. Same goes to all US planes except the F-35B

[@pogo1140]

It looks like China v US will be a mostly US 7th and 3rd Fleet thing. The bulk of the US Navy's Carrier Strike Groups are assigned to those to the 3rd fleets and USN and USMC active F-35 squadrons are assigned to the 3rd Fleet. The 7th Fleet has Marine and amphibious assault and ASW units and F-35B's assigned to the USS America. The USAF will be playing a support and defensive role in Japan and Korea

[@Ram-1231]

Actually, the SU-57 has many advantages over BOTH the F-22 AND F-35. The SU-57 is multi role and both planes in one essentially. SU-57 outperforms both American.F fighters. SU-57 also has L-band radar to DETECT ALL low observable platforms and can track 30 targets simultaneously and can fully operate missions without gps or data link. The 57 designation was no coincidence F(22) + F(35) 22+35=57. The F-35 was primarily designed to be sub par from F-22 and is more targeted towards NATO for sales and control. J-20 I'm pretty sure also has the American F family pet much dominated as well. The J-20 also is designed and built to take on both the roles the F Family share but in one plane and better. The more I learn about and see this plane the more I like it. They will have 200 by years end with and most all will have at least one new W-15 indigenous engine and ONE old W-10 until W-15 gets proven. Likely the next 100 before both switch to W-15 by 2023. J-20 also uses 6G data link while F is still 5G. At least as far as I know. J-20 will have 500 by 2024-2025. J-35 is starting production and even less is known about that but in thinking no less than 800. I think the J-35 will be export to counter F-35 and future Russian "Checkmate" sales. So when I say I think 800 I think that's what the Chinese will keep at the least. But this will be the future carrier based fighter for China although in not sure if it'll be the front line fighter. Only time will tell.

[@garrisonsmith753]

Yeahhhh so I will agree with a bit of what you said except when it comes to the numbers…. Neither China or especially Russia has the means capable to produce fighters in that numbers in that short of time unless it’s an emergency situation. The Russian federation has 14 su-57s and 10 operating. Look the j-20 and su-57 are cool planes and have lots of cool tech. But (and this goes for the f-35 as well) they haven’t been around long enough to show their real time use. The f-22 has been tested in numerous countries in numerous affairs and situations. Either way the U.S. Air Force builds their platforms on the ability to update as well and the f-22 has so many abilities to update its hardware and software and the same can not be confirmed or said for much Russian and Chinese military equipment. Also Training of pilots when it comes to the U.S. is of a higher level and higher number. At the end of the day their is a reason that the f-35 didn’t replace the f-22 all together. That’s because the u.s. gov knew that it’s overkill and not practical to make an entire new platform 6th gen fighter when the f-22 is still the biggest competition out there. It’s not just as simple as it seems when it comes down to technology in the plane and number claims by the government. Remember that russia has a gdp equivalent to that of a couple US states and even if china is doing well with the trade war, if anything serious should happen and real american industry opened up despite having a totally incompetent leader, the United States economic power is beyond both countries combined and that is the truth. I’m not even American and I know this. America spends 900billion dollars per year on military Russia and China both together spend about 4-500billon. It’s not close.

Finally, when America is forced to economize rather than throwing unlimited funds at defence, we will start doing what Russia has done for years --- upgrade the capabilities of existing aircraft. I also think that in 10 years the capabilities of the F35 will constantly get better too. It was designed to be even MORE upgradeable than the F22 in software and interoperability with other weapon systems. Also the F15 and F18 will continue to build capability. Combined with the latest long range stealthy missiles and eventually hypersonic weapons we will be unbeatable in the air.

@@miraphycs7377 while no aircraft (civilian or military) is problem free, the F-35 has had more accidents than the F-22. Nearly 95% of the problems that the F-22 has have been fixed while the F-35 continues to have major issues On 23 June 2014, an F-35A's engine caught fire at Eglin AFB. The pilot escaped unharmed, while the aircraft sustained an estimated US$50 million in damage. The accident caused all flights to be halted on 3 July. The fleet returned to flight on 15 July with flight envelope restrictions. In June 2015, the USAF AETC issued its official report, which blamed the failure on the third stage rotor of the engine's fan module, pieces of which cut through the fan case and upper fuselage. Pratt & Whitney applied an extended "rub-in" to increase the gap between the second stator and the third rotor integral arm seal, as well as design alterations to pre-trench the stator by early 2016. The first crash occurred on 28 September 2018 involving a USMC F-35B near, the pilot ejected safely. The crash was attributed to a faulty fuel tube; all F-35s were grounded on 11 October pending a fleet-wide inspection of the tubes. The next day, most USAF and USN F-35s returned to flight status following the inspection. On 9 April 2019, a JASDF F-35A attached to disappeared from radar about 84 miles (135 km) east of the during a training mission over the Pacific Ocean. The pilot, Major Akinori Hosomi, had radioed his intention to abort the drill before disappearing. The US and Japanese navies searched for the missing aircraft and pilot, finding debris on the water that confirmed its crash; Hosomi's remains were recovered in June. In response, Japan grounded its 12 F-35As. There was speculation that China or Russia might attempt to salvage it; the JDP announced there had been no "reported activities" from either country. The F-35 reportedly did not send a distress signal nor did the pilot attempt any recovery maneuvers as it descended at a rapid rate. The accident report attributed the cause to the pilot's spatial disorientatio. On 19 May 2020, a USAF F-35A from the 58th Fighter Squadron crashed while landing at Eglin AFB. The pilot ejected and was in stable condition.The accident was attributed to a combination of pilot error induced by fatigue, an design issue with the oxygen system and the aircraft's more complex nature being distracting, as well as a malfunctioning heads up display and an unresponsive flight control system. On 29 September 2020, a USMC F-35B crashed in California, after colliding with a Marine Corps KC-130 during air to air refueling. The F-35B pilot was injured in the ejection, and the KC-130 crash-landed gear up in a field. On 17 November 2021, a Royal Air Force F-35B crashed during routine operations in the Mediterranean. The pilot was safely recovered to HMS Qween Elizabeth. Early reports suggested some of "the covers and engine blanks" had not been removed before takeoff. The wreckage, including all security sensitive equipment, was largely recovered with the assistance of U.S. and Italian forces.[ On 4 January 2022, a South Korean Air Force F-35A made a belly landing after all systems failed except the flight controls and the engine. The pilot heard a series of bangs during low altitude flight, and various systems stopped working. The control tower suggested that the pilot eject, but he managed to land the plane without deploying the landing gear, walking away uninjured. 24 January 2022, a USN F-35C with crashed while landing aboard an aircraft carrier during training excersises in the South China Seas injuring seven crew members. The pilot ejected safely and was recovered from the water, while the wreck was lost overboard. Plans to recover the fighter are underway.
