And to think the YF-23 was faster and stealthier than the YF-22.
The military has regretted shutting down the line ever since they shut it down. The Obama administration thought the F-22/F-35 relationship would be like the F-15/F-16 high low relationship. That has not yet come to fruition and may never and is why we are buying more F-15s as missile trucks and it sounds like Talon Hate is working finally. At least the new F-15 has a very advanced radar and still performs admirably BVR. Now, if we only had a missile with the range to go with the radar.
