These Images Of An F-22 Raptor’s Crumbling Radar Absorbent Skin Are Fascinating

The photos are a reminder of just how much work goes into keeping the F-22’s skin ready for combat and the amazing science behind its stealthy design.

Whilst the Stuka was the schizzle in the early parts of the war.......they had a 90% casualty later on.

Fixed landing gear and other issues made them the retarded kid in skool...

90%!! Over what period? 90% of pilots/machines lost over time, or each raid?
