The US would scramble a 4 ship of 22’s and 18’s likely. The F-35 just doesn’t do much for you besides being a mini AWACS. Honestly if we knew J20’s were inbound I think a Growler swarm that hides F22’s and F35’s is guaranteed.

Imagine being the bomber pilot seeing your fighters get shot down, knowing you're next. Also a cool fact about the F22 is that it's radar changes frequencies so fast that it mitigates the chance that other aircraft's rwr will detect it.

Hey, GS!

If you incorporate a little more of that (everything in moderation) into your already great videos, I am confident that your production value alone would get you over the 500K mark, PLUS I believe most people will actually consider your videos "better" due to the more artistic nature.

Some aircraft (not sure if that includes the f22) have a "bugsplat" display which basically shows a weird shape around a top down view of the aircraft on the map, and an enemy inside the bugsplat can theoretically detect the aircraft.
