I PROVED on EVERY LEVEL possible that the T-50 is NOTHING and I used the OP link to do so. You may want to read the last several pages to catch up.
I do not need to read, to know what difference U.S. and Russian aircraft
F-22, with its completely insane price has multifunctionality! That is not a universal machine.
Upon closer examination it appears that the impact potential of the F-22 in the "invisibility" is close to zero. At its close the internal weapons bays climbs just a couple of 1000-pound (454 kg) bombs or eight 250-pound (113 kg) bombs - two times less than in the cheaper F-35, whose potential impact seems too American experts totally inadequate.
Switching to external suspension theoretically could seriously increase the amount of shock weapons - but, first, with the F-22 completely loses its low profile and no longer do anything surpass the existing universal aircraft 4 th generation, like the Su-34 and Su - 35. Foreign suspension a large number of arms dramatically raises the drag F-22 and makes it impossible to fly at supersonic speeds without the use of afterburning engines.
The military did not expect to use an external suspension F-22 for shock weapons (bombs). More than that - they do not seriously expect to strike potential F-22, because until now the only type of arms, which F-22 can be used against ground targets - these are the small bombs with individual homing coordinates GPS, fit only for the targeted killings according to a previously explored stationary objects.
Theoretically, the F-22 are compact versions are against radar missiles, suggestive of ground radar radiation - but it is a weapon of self-defense, rather than a real strike power. The fact is that for the application and the bombs and missiles in the "invisibility" F-22 to drop to subsonic speed, and then open the hatch weapons bay - that once deprived of its most invisibility and makes clearly visible on the radar. That is to release a missile at a radar secretly fail, the opponent gets a lot of time to counter the rocket - for example, by disabling radar on the missile flight times. What is the use of F-22 is better to run the same missiles with conventional F-16 - it is not clear why the calculation of the "preemptive strike" stealth "F-22 on radar for professionals looks serious. As a means of self-defense, a way to temporarily suppress enemy radar during an attack by enemy fighters or after the missile launch is detected by anti-aircraft F-22 - yes, it is possible, but "pre-emptive strike" - tactically meaningless.
In general, F-22 is not a universal plane. This is a clean fighter-interceptor, and with a very poor autonomy without actually having the opportunity to carry on duty in the air. In fact, the characteristics of this pure air defense interceptor. All other functionality in the aircraft rudimentary.
Why U.S. air defense interceptor monstrously expensive? Why such a low profile interceptor, achieved at great weakening of arms? Will the F-22 is better than more powerful weapons and maneuverable "old" Su-30 or MiG-31, armed with missiles much more range?
Therefore, the F-22 sitting at airbases and nowhere do not really apply.
