No the F35 is not better than the F22. The F22 is never gonna be flown by pilots from other countries due to the fact that it has classified equipment and cost much more than the F35. But, the F15 may be able to beat em all. Congress is involved with the F22 and made a law that it can never be sent even to allies of the US...
The F22 is only an air superiority fighter. It's role is to take on other aircraft and survive. The F35 is a multirole fighter, it performs many different functions. Think of the F22 as an assassin, stealthy and striking from the shadows. While the F35 is an elite soldier, performing multiple roles to suppress the same enemies in different ways.
Technically the F22 has the ability to perform as a ground attack platform as well, but it's not as good at that role as the F35. F22 has done some CAS and strike roles in Syria in the past decade just to see how it performed. Like you said F-35 having a more advanced targeting system and sensors is much better at more roles. F-22's biggest advantage is more raw power which is important when intercepting and killing other birds in the sky at long range.
@@colbunkmust Granted, I've been a civi for a decade now, but to my knowledge the AF hasn't added the capability of CAS to the F22 yet. And just like the F15, it wasn't built in. It may have the ability but it doesn't have the capability.
The F22 is an air superiority fighter (the best) at doing what it does. The F35 is mostly for ground attack but can also dogfight, just not as well as the F22. The F22 is king of the air superiority roll.!!!
The F22 is absolutely the king of air superiority, thanks to its maneuverability. The F35 is replacing it because it is the king of future air superiority, which unfortunately won't include flashy dog fights, which is why it isn't as maneuverable as the 22; it's designed to never be able to be put in the situation where it would need to dog fight, either because it was never seen, engages at a superior distance, or it commands NGAD faithful wingman drones to dog fight for it.
this isnt exactly true. the 35 isnt meant to be in dog fights. if it is the pilot fucked up a long time ago. it is built to destroy the enemy before they can see the 35 on the radar or with their eyes. so it is meant for air to air but it is not meant for dogfighting. a lot of the knocks on this plane was from when they came out and to be fair it did almost shoot its own pilot. i was one of them at the base in the vid. but the 35 is a beast
@@trevorjrooney The F-35 isn't replacing the F-22. The NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) fighter jet will begin replacing the F-22 sometime in the early 2030 time frame.
To put the cost in perspective. F-35 A Variant (This is the air force variant that can not do vertical takeoff landing or land on carriers which makes it cheaper and most popular) $77.9 million per unit. F-22 is somewhere around $137 million to $150 million per jet if it were still being made today. Saab JAS 39 Gripen is estimated at $85 million but not official figures are available, is one of the most modern 4th gen aircraft and is designed to be high performance and low cost. F-16 is at $63 million which is an older airframe but still very capable and the most popular aircraft among America's allies. And only the F-22 is stealth but even it doesn't match a lot of the capabilities the F-35 has, as it is designed to be able to kill anything in the sky but the F-35 is designed to control an entire battlespace by giving incomparable levels of sensors and communications to basically show every other allied aircraft in the area all enemy assets that their radars and sensors might not be able to see.
F-35 got a lot of hate for no real reason i think. People didnt want it to replace their favorite legacy jets, plus it was extremely expensive to develop. But overall the 35 is probably one of the best aircraft ever made for the roles it was designed for. And the fact its showing promising signs in competing or even exceeding the abilities of its peers and predecessors, plus its lowering costs, i think it'll be a great addition to any airforce. And we'll see its real teeth in combat when the day comes.
Lots of great postings on F22 and F35 details. Keep in mind the F22 has restricted sales to other counties in order to maintain a technological advantage. The F35 was US designed and funded by several countries and is an exportable product
If you enjoy videos on American military check out the Shawn Ryan show he interviews some of America's premier war fighters. Some of their stories are unbelievable
The F22 is a specialist. Head to head in an air superiority role it's still the most capable. It's also only has a 50% mission capable rate (which has been falling) and is very expensive to operate (and that's climbing). It also has a 5,000 hour service life. It's the Sports Car. When you need a bomb truck, stealth be damned with air to air capablijty you want the F15EX. It has a 20,000 hour service life. It's the Sports Sedan. When you need stealth with the ability to carry an internal payload (to remain stealthy) and air to air capability you want an F35A. .It has a 10,000 hour service life. It's the GT Car. Different tools for different tasks. They still can't meet delivery schedules for current orders on the F35A, no point in increasing orders near term. The F15EX is better for certain roles and will help replace the older F15C/D/E models as they are retired. If you could only have one you would want the F35A. But all three will be a superior combination. The F22 replacement will be a Gen 6 Air Superiority Fighter in 10-20 years. The EX and 35A will have to fill any capacity gap until then as older F22 airfrsmes are slowly retired.
In a nutshell in American football terms F22 is the linebacker that breaks through and destroys the enemy defenses.. The F35 is the quarterback that can long locate enemies targets and can pass its data to any friendly combat pilots or ground artillery units in the area on the enemy. It can accurately target any enemy entity, ground forces, air defenses, fighters and enemy bases and can coordinate the where to target without the F35 can exposing itself… The stealth radar detection on an F35 is a small bird, a pigeon size but the F35 electronically send signals to the enemy radar and disguised itself as a flock of birds readings on an enemy’s radar….
“Dogfighting “ is kind of a misunderstood term. We think of top gun footage where to planes duke it out at close range, but the F35 is not designed to do that as it’s primarily strength, like the F22 is for example. The F35, can do that, but not as well. It is meant to kill before it is seen, or at least before it is too late to need to “dogfight “. The sensors and data link is where it beats the F22 hands down. Nothing will ever get close enough to touch it if all goes right.
Nice video. I also like the A-10. My Favorite plane is the SR-71A BlackBirds. For fighters ; I like - The most gen 4 and both gen 5. Of course you hsve to like the Tankers that let all of the other planes do their missions.
Hey, I dont normally watch react content, let alone comment, but you discovering the american military is something else. I have alot of video suggestions you might like that actually go into the engineering of how/why the planes were designed instead of just clips of it flying. But first, if there is one video (well 2 parts) you absolutely have got to see its the operations room: Lettye Gulf, Battle of Samar. Techincially there are 5 parts to the Lettye gulf series but the other 3 are nothing special, and the operations room is a more factual/less passionate channel than the Fat Electrician. But the battle of Samar, taffy 3 vs center force, is the single most desperate and mismatched battle in the history of the US navy. Before starting or when the ships are listed) id suggest (on camera) looking up the tonnage and weapons of the Fletcher class destroyer , Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413, the previous one before the one that got blown up by the iranian mine) and compare then to the battleship yamato which they were up against (spoiler: 1 of the yamato's gun turrets weighs as much as an entire Fletcher destroyer, the yamato itself is as big as the entire US force, and thats before you get into the other 3 battleships ,and all of their escorts) As for the engineering videos: Real Engineering has "The Insane Engineering of the F35B", as well as "The Insane Engineering of the F16" , They also have a 3 parter on the space shuttle and two on the james web telescope and parker solar probe worth checking out. Mustard has: " Why The F-15 Terrified The Soviets " , " The World’s Fastest Bomber: The XB-70 Valkyrie " and "Why Was This Plane Invulnerable: The SR-71 Blackbird Story"
Hill AFB is just up the road from where I live. It's home to the F-35 demo squadron. They practice out over the West Desert of UT, Dugway proving grounds and the bomb range north of that. You can hear the sonic booms as they maneuver etc. The squadron took to posting the times they would be out there practicing so residents of the area wouldn't get freaked out when their windows rattle. Incredible plane.
F-22 and DARPA's upcoming NGAD fighters are being held as an air dominance fighter, not to be confused with air superiority or air supremacy, which are roles held by F-35, F-16, F-15, typhoon and so forth.
Great reaction. Veteran, so you know I love the military stuff!! This video title is about the last major port of the Confederacy falling. "Fort Fisher - Wilmington, NC - Travel Thru History"
The helmet changed out from LED to OLED in 2022 for Navy and Marines. the new helmet became standardized in 2023, the problem was the LED were to bright in night vision green glow even in it's lowest setting. Most of the problems stated in the video has been resolved.
How many people comment not really knowing what their talking about because a great plane is great but as a military veteran the pilot is most important
F-22 is probably still the best air superiority fighter the world has seen, but the F-35 could be second best and that's on top of the fact that they are multi role.
The F-22 shows up on radar as a bubble bee sized flying object, because how it was designed and made. Vs F-35 relies on stealth plates for stealth. There is recorded instances of those stealth plates falling off mid flight. F-22 is banned from being purchased from other countries till it's replacement is flying, but the F-35 is sold to other countries for revenue. The F-22 would annihilate F-35 in a dog fight. The F-35 is supposed to replace the F-16 and the A-10 warthog. Which makes no sense in the A-10 replacement because it is a fraction of the F-35 building cost. That is why the Sky Warden is gaining so much traction.
Something you need to think about when America give a cost per flight hour, we include the cost of training pilots to fly the aircraft and the coat training all of the maintenance personnel in that number and that is for the life of the aircraft.
right now, 17 countries have it or ordered it for their AirForce's. also, your country has f-16s but there are a lot of other countries that has it as well
The F-35 program was intially called the Joint Strike Fighter ( JSF ) due to the fact that besides the US other Nato allies share the cost for production and maintenance and produce planes for their own country. The F-35-B's were made with the mission to replace the McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II ( Jump Jet ). The Royal Navy's need to replace the Harrier is getting relevant. The F-35's were to be the companion plane to the F-22 like the F-16 was to the F-15. The F-22's overall Stealth capability is better then the F-35's but the F-35's is still better then all Gen-4 and older planes. F-35's what capabilities do you need ; we have the F-35_A , F-35_B and F35_C let us customize it for you. The F-35's are meant to be the more affordable and widely available plane for the US and Nato allies.
Military just released footage of a new stealth blackbird that can actually go mach 10 they said it was most biggest leap in technology it can go 7500 mph -10,000 mph look it up I just saw it yesterday there's nothing like it not even close
The F22 and F35 aren't really comparable; they were designed for different jobs. The F35 would die in a fight with a F22. The F35 would be a lot more useful for generalized missions. The only direct comparison between the two we can make is that the F35 is newer.
The F35 serves a different purpose than the F22. The F22 is an air dominance fighter. It is designed to go head to head with the best fighters in the world. The F35 is designed to control the battle space. It can control the weapons on other aircraft, ships, and gound base weapons, like artillery. It is much more advanced technologically than the F22. It is also designed to be easily upgraded. It is difficult to upgrade the F22 with new technology and that it why it has taken years to be able to use more advanced missles. They both have function.
Think of it this way: the F-16 is multirole in the sense that it is a fighter that can also hit ground targets if needed. The F-35 is multirole in the sense that it is a ground-attacker that can defend itself from air threats if needed. Neither of them have a good chance of winning against an air-superiority fighter from a peer military, but don’t need to for the same reason destroyers were more common in navies than cruisers in WW2.
With the F35, the pilot ideally never sees his opponent. And the opponent doesn't even know the F35 is around. The opponent just explodes. You and most Army soldiers love the Warthog. The Air Force, not so much. They keep trying to get rid of them. They say the F35 fills that role. Seriously? An F35 can not hang over a battlefield and immediately react to a call for help.
F22 is the best plane on earth for rn. F35 is a close second. Different roles.. we are about to introduce 2 new planes that are 6th gen vs 5th gen thru NGAD.
As with most US military aircraft the F22 and F35 are designed to fit specific and different roles in overall military doctrine. While there may be some overlap in capabilities there are reasons why one or the other would be better for a particular mission.
Every plane in US military have a purpose. F35 is best all round air to air, ground, stealth...but not the best at any single one of those. Best air to air is F22 due to stealth and power. F18s are like non stealth f35s good all round. F16 are just fast nimble like F22 but not stealth. F15s are just beasts...fastest, carry most missiles/ b0mbs and have so much power in the engines they can go straight up after takeoff and break the sound barrier while doing it. Th F15EX is going to be used as a weapons tanker.....F35 sees something but launches a missile on an F15EX thats further away at it to keep his stealth. So F=Fighter, A=Attack(ground) B=Bomber E=Electronic warfare(jamming) C=Cargo X=Experimental then u can have some that combine like an EA18 Growler electronic and Attack and the AC130 Attack and Cargo......we have uses for them all........
It’s not puzzling why the Air Force would want the F-15 EX Eagle II. The F-35 fills a completely different role and the F-22 is more like a Navy SEAL. That is why the F-15 is still the main air superiority fighter. A new air superiority fighter is replacing it. It’s that simple.
The F-22 is much better than than the F-35 or the U.S. would not allow it's export. This is not considering what the U.S. has; which no one has talked about.
The US Air Force no longer loves the F-22. They have been in a fight with our Congress to let them retire them. They have 32 of them they want to be rid of because it costs them $500 million dollars just to maintain them. They told Congress that the F-22 will never be part of any combat plan because its electronics are so outdated that it would be a total waste of time and money to bother trying. They also said that, in addition to wasting time and money, it would require them to pull talent from making our sixth generation fighter jet. Poor F-22 :( As for the F-35, the ones we sell to our allies aren’t the same as the ones we use ourselves. Every nation who produces tanks or jets have a domestic model and an export model. There are definitely things in those F-35s we don’t know about.
Congress appropriated 11 billion dollars to upgrade 150 F22’s to include better stealth coatings, updated avionics, infrared search and track capabilities and a helmet mounted cueing system. NGAD isn’t scheduled to be operational until the mid 2030’s so F22’s will continue to fly until enough NGAD’s are built. There could be F22’s still in active service until 2040.
I think you should look for other videos than the Military News videos you always watch. These videos assume you know all about the plane they’re talking about & are often concerned with price, parts & stuff like that. There are lots of other videos that will actually give you lots of information about the planes. There was very little information that was helpful to someone just wanting to learn about a plane.
The F35 was designed to have multiple purposes and be a single engine plane. The F22 is pretty much designed for air to air only and has duel engines. The F35 was designed to replace all fighter jets since its a jack of all trades making it cheaper since they all use the same engine.
It depends on the mission, but f22 is best at stealth and dog fighting by far,us newest version is good at everything but not really the best at anything
Not better, just newer (and that makes it more advanced and yes better). As a pure fighter the F-22 would wipe the floor with the F-35 in 1 vs 1 dogfight, but in the modern battle-space the edge goes to the F-35 for all of it's cutting edge tech.
The F22 is better at it's role, because it's an air superiority fighter, meaning its only job is to take out other aircraft. However, the F35 is a multirole aircraft, capable of doing much more than the F22. So if the job is only air-to-air combat, the F22 is better; if the job is anything else, the F35 would probably be better.
Personally i think the F-35 is a really great plane...lets face it when it comes to the USA development with aircraft we hardly ever make any that are not top notch. But its definitely not the one that gets you super hyped up like the F-15 or F-22, unless you are purely a super tech nerd. No doubt its capabilities on purely being more like a "smart" fighter is unmatched and since it was very recent it has the advantage of all the latest tech developed into it unlike older planes having to get those constantly integrated. But performance wise its meant to be more a jack of all trades...hopefully excelling in all areas well. Its used by air force, marines, and navy and thus has a variant that can even take off/land vertically. So its invaluable for a lot of reasons which is why id say its more valuable for other NATO and ally countries then the USA. Most NATO and Asian allies have them or are getting them...replacing their older generation planes because cost wise it makes sense for them. Unlike most countries the USA has the budget to continue to upgrade our 4th generation and F-22 fleets...and i think of the F-35 as meant to be the quarterback of the team. Its a great dual threat plane capable of doing a lot of damage on its own but like a QB needs other great players around them also, the F-35 will shine directing our aircraft around it that all are better at certain tasks then it is. Hope that helps clear things up a little bit for you!
And see I like your reactions to stuff like this. You have a completely unbiased as possible reaction to these systems. With most of what you think and say is better. Based on looks and personal preference, which you blatantly say is the case, so no worries. Thats a completely valid point of view, especially when said up front. And the A-10 is hands down better, for a dedicated tank killer, ground strike and Close Air support (CAS) platform or CAS for a medivac. If I’m station, you can’t beat an A-10 really, unless you got a B-1B or B-52 on station with Jdams and latern or newer targeting pod with some laser guided and SDUs loaded also. Or and AC-130. Now for anything but that one job, the F-35 blows the brakes off of an A-10, or most other platforms. They are insanely advanced and good, and only getting better. With more and more actual readiness, and lower per unit cost. With equal or slightly higher maintenance costs, with far more capability than any other platform save the B-2, B-21 or F-22/A can hope to achieve, but each of those platforms are specialized to one or two roles…and modified to do more, the F-35 can and will do all roles better. Except air superiority role. Or a bomber. As it’s not a strategic bomber, or a dedicated air superiority fighter. But for actual combat, is almost as good for actual missions as a whole. And far. Far cheaper. Plus can and is run by 3 different US branches and many foreign militaries with total numbers being made and used only going up every year, and further driving down price as they said. It’s over 40 million cheaper than the best 4 th gen fighter/multi role jet. That is t stealth and has half of its other capabilities at base level, lol. It is truly ground breaking and mind blowing what we can do
In air superiority F-22 wins F-35 is multi-role never mind saw previous comment beat me to the punch. The US built a total of A, B and C variants A for normal Air Force, B for USMC vertical jump jets and C for Navy for catapult launch. Total planes is 2,456 and F-22 Raptor Air Force only US but like 187 planes so the numbers.
head to head, the F-22 would take the F-35's lunch money every single time. the F-22 still has tech that is classified that is why it wont be sold to other NATO allies. F-35 is a multirole jack of all trade fighter jet. F-22 specializes in dominating the air to air diplomatic relations.
With the F-15 having a 104:0 Kill-to-loss ratio, the F-22 is 40 times more deadly due to it's stealth capability. U.S. Federal Law prohibits the sale of the Raptor outside of the U.S. Right now, the NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) is under works and is supposed to be even deadlier. I've said this on a Habitual Linecrosser video, but anything we roll out isn't for the current leader, but the next guy in charge.
I love both aircraft, but I get a feeling that the F-22 is somehow secretly better, just because the US Government doesn't allow other nations to use it, while they let allies use the F-35...
You know, every time you watch a video from "US Military News," I can't help but think that they're saying a lot without actually telling you anything. Every video you say something along the lines of "I have no idea what that means, but I trust him." They give these big words and statistics without actually explaining what it means, so anyone who doesn't already know about all of this stuff- the target audience- isn't getting much out of it.
They don't load weapons on the wings when stealth is needed, genius. That is called "Beast Mode," which you would know if you had just a little knowledge on the subject. Research for yourself!!
@robertgoodrich8953 without the external load out it has 1/4 what an EX has and both will be bombing with air support. It's stealth capabilities as a strike fighter are moot. It's only sales point is It's multi role and export availability.
The announcer gives some very confusing statistics , on purpose.2012 fiscal dollars? Stretching the data too far.Propaganda/ most videos bragging about aircraft capabilities usually have some,Check how well the F35 did in dogfght games against the F 15 Strike Eagle.It did not win.There have also been many failures within its many systems.You are doing a great job,keep up the good work.
The F-22 is still better than the F-35 but the F-22 cannot be produced again unless outrageous amounts more money are spent. Special but not reproducable cheaply enough. The F-35 can be produced cheaper for international sale to allies right NOW. The F-22 is still better but will be replaced by the time the F-22 needs to be retired. In the meantime, the F-22 will still rule the skies. The F-35will do just fine for allies meantime.
P&W's stance has now actually bit it int he butt. There is now a new competition for a replacement engine for the F-35, and it will be cheaper than the F135, and at the moment it doesn't look like P&W is going to win, and that GE will win and come in well under P&W's current program. So in short, P&W got greedy and now they are going to lose big time.
Honestly, this was a bad choice for a video to react to. Over half the video is discussing cost of the aircraft without explaining how that makes it more advanced. To be clear, it's not you, it's the video. I would absolutely recommend a video from Megaprojects or Real Engineering. Both channels have amazing videos about US fighter jets.
As others have said, I would say that the f-35 and the F-22 are equal to each other in overall value and overall strength. But in different ways the F-22 is 95%. Maybe more just air to air combat and the F-22 can literally take down anything in the sky point blank like set in a previous comment and a head-to-head fight. The F-22 would take the f-35's lunch money every single time, but although the f-35 is not as good as the 22 in air-to-air combat, the f-35 being a multi-roll fighter is better at every other mission type involved in air combat than the 22
this video was more about dollar and sense than ' why the plane is more advanced ' lol military news using click bait titles now... Andre, that helmet the F-35 pilots where wearing alone is $400,000. it ties in to sensors and cameras located all over the planes surface, which allows the pilot to look through the floor of the plane. giving the pilot a full 360 degree of vision. ( there's better videos if you want to see what the F-35 is capable of, this one sucked). Not a knock on you, enjoy your reactions.

No the F35 is not better than the F22. The F22 is never gonna be flown by pilots from other countries due to the fact that it has classified equipment and cost much more than the F35. But, the F15 may be able to beat em all. Congress is involved with the F22 and made a law that it can never be sent even to allies of the US...

Don't forget the F-35 can work as a sort of AWACS/ Command and Control for Drones and other Weapons systems.
@@trevorjrooney The F-35 isn't replacing the F-22. The NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) fighter jet will begin replacing the F-22 sometime in the early 2030 time frame.
To put the cost in perspective.

Lots of great postings on F22 and F35 details. Keep in mind the F22 has restricted sales to other counties in order to maintain a technological advantage. The F35 was US designed and funded by several countries and is an exportable product
One thing not mentioned in the video is that it is also a VTOL aircraft.
The B variant is vtol, A and C aren’t, iirc
STO/VL actually.
WHOOP WHOOP!!!! Told ya lol
You need to do a reaction to the F35's fighting and targeting/helmet tech.
If you enjoy videos on American military check out the Shawn Ryan show he interviews some of America's premier war fighters. Some of their stories are unbelievable
The F22 is a specialist. Head to head in an air superiority role it's still the most capable. It's also only has a 50% mission capable rate (which has been falling) and is very expensive to operate (and that's climbing). It also has a 5,000 hour service life. It's the Sports Car.
When you need a bomb truck, stealth be damned with air to air capablijty you want the F15EX. It has a 20,000 hour service life. It's the Sports Sedan.
When you need stealth with the ability to carry an internal payload (to remain stealthy) and air to air capability you want an F35A. .It has a 10,000 hour service life. It's the GT Car.
Different tools for different tasks.
They still can't meet delivery schedules for current orders on the F35A, no point in increasing orders near term. The F15EX is better for certain roles and will help replace the older F15C/D/E models as they are retired.
If you could only have one you would want the F35A. But all three will be a superior combination. The F22 replacement will be a Gen 6 Air Superiority Fighter in 10-20 years. The EX and 35A will have to fill any capacity gap until then as older F22 airfrsmes are slowly retired.
That's my absolute favorite plane!
Amazing 🙏
In a nutshell in American football terms F22 is the linebacker that breaks through and destroys the enemy defenses.. The F35 is the quarterback that can long locate enemies targets and can pass its data to any friendly combat pilots or ground artillery units in the area on the enemy. It can accurately target any enemy entity, ground forces, air defenses, fighters and enemy bases and can coordinate the where to target without the F35 can exposing itself… The stealth radar detection on an F35 is a small bird, a pigeon size but the F35 electronically send signals to the enemy radar and disguised itself as a flock of birds readings on an enemy’s radar….
F22 is a jet made to fight other jets, and the F35 is both an air and ground jet, it is kind of the F16 of the 5th Generation.
“Dogfighting “ is kind of a misunderstood term. We think of top gun footage where to planes duke it out at close range, but the F35 is not designed to do that as it’s primarily strength, like the F22 is for example.
The F35, can do that, but not as well. It is meant to kill before it is seen, or at least before it is too late to need to “dogfight “.
The sensors and data link is where it beats the F22 hands down. Nothing will ever get close enough to touch it if all goes right.
Wait til you see the f15 thats things a beast
Nice video. I also like the A-10. My Favorite plane is the SR-71A BlackBirds. For fighters ; I like - The most gen 4 and both gen 5. Of course you hsve to like the Tankers that let all of the other planes do their missions.
The A-10 Warthog will always have my heart, but they are all amazing. I've never done a model, but I'm going to give it a try.
Hey, I dont normally watch react content, let alone comment, but you discovering the american military is something else. I have alot of video suggestions you might like that actually go into the engineering of how/why the planes were designed instead of just clips of it flying.
But first, if there is one video (well 2 parts) you absolutely have got to see its the operations room: Lettye Gulf, Battle of Samar. Techincially there are 5 parts to the Lettye gulf series but the other 3 are nothing special, and the operations room is a more factual/less passionate channel than the Fat Electrician. But the battle of Samar, taffy 3 vs center force, is the single most desperate and mismatched battle in the history of the US navy. Before starting or when the ships are listed) id suggest (on camera) looking up the tonnage and weapons of the Fletcher class destroyer , Samuel B. Roberts (DE-413, the previous one before the one that got blown up by the iranian mine) and compare then to the battleship yamato which they were up against (spoiler: 1 of the yamato's gun turrets weighs as much as an entire Fletcher destroyer, the yamato itself is as big as the entire US force, and thats before you get into the other 3 battleships ,and all of their escorts)
As for the engineering videos:
Real Engineering has "The Insane Engineering of the F35B", as well as "The Insane Engineering of the F16" , They also have a 3 parter on the space shuttle and two on the james web telescope and parker solar probe worth checking out.
Mustard has: " Why The F-15 Terrified The Soviets " , " The World’s Fastest Bomber: The XB-70 Valkyrie " and "Why Was This Plane Invulnerable: The SR-71 Blackbird Story"
Hill AFB is just up the road from where I live. It's home to the F-35 demo squadron. They practice out over the West Desert of UT, Dugway proving grounds and the bomb range north of that. You can hear the sonic booms as they maneuver etc. The squadron took to posting the times they would be out there practicing so residents of the area wouldn't get freaked out when their windows rattle. Incredible plane.
F-22 and DARPA's upcoming NGAD fighters are being held as an air dominance fighter, not to be confused with air superiority or air supremacy, which are roles held by F-35, F-16, F-15, typhoon and so forth.
Great reaction. Veteran, so you know I love the military stuff!! This video title is about the last major port of the Confederacy falling. "Fort Fisher - Wilmington, NC - Travel Thru History"
The helmet changed out from LED to OLED in 2022 for Navy and Marines. the new helmet became standardized in 2023, the problem was the LED were to bright in night vision green glow even in it's lowest setting. Most of the problems stated in the video has been resolved.
How many people comment not really knowing what their talking about because a great plane is great but as a military veteran the pilot is most important
The F-35A now costs 68 million dollars.
So. F-22 in air to air, air superiority is the king. The F-35 in terms of total capacity is at least as good. Probably better
F-22 is probably still the best air superiority fighter the world has seen, but the F-35 could be second best and that's on top of the fact that they are multi role.
I think the reason the f35 is “cost effective “ is because we sell it.
We don’t sell f22 raptors. To anyone, even the UK, Australia and France.
The F-22 shows up on radar as a bubble bee sized flying object, because how it was designed and made. Vs F-35 relies on stealth plates for stealth. There is recorded instances of those stealth plates falling off mid flight. F-22 is banned from being purchased from other countries till it's replacement is flying, but the F-35 is sold to other countries for revenue. The F-22 would annihilate F-35 in a dog fight. The F-35 is supposed to replace the F-16 and the A-10 warthog. Which makes no sense in the A-10 replacement because it is a fraction of the F-35 building cost. That is why the Sky Warden is gaining so much traction.
Something you need to think about when America give a cost per flight hour, we include the cost of training pilots to fly the aircraft and the coat training all of the maintenance personnel in that number and that is for the life of the aircraft.
right now, 17 countries have it or ordered it for their AirForce's. also, your country has f-16s but there are a lot of other countries that has it as well
The F-35 program was intially called the Joint Strike Fighter ( JSF ) due to the fact that besides the US other Nato allies share the cost for production and maintenance and produce planes for their own country. The F-35-B's were made with the mission to replace the McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II ( Jump Jet ). The Royal Navy's need to replace the Harrier is getting relevant. The F-35's were to be the companion plane to the F-22 like the F-16 was to the F-15. The F-22's overall Stealth capability is better then the F-35's but the F-35's is still better then all Gen-4 and older planes. F-35's what capabilities do you need ; we have the F-35_A , F-35_B and F35_C let us customize it for you. The F-35's are meant to be the more affordable and widely available plane for the US and Nato allies.
Alice is the sytem used in resident evil movie lol
Knowing the F-35 it’s an amazing aircraft. Haven’t seen anything like it.
Military just released footage of a new stealth blackbird that can actually go mach 10 they said it was most biggest leap in technology it can go 7500 mph -10,000 mph look it up I just saw it yesterday there's nothing like it not even close
The F22 and F35 aren't really comparable; they were designed for different jobs. The F35 would die in a fight with a F22. The F35 would be a lot more useful for generalized missions.
The only direct comparison between the two we can make is that the F35 is newer.
Sandboxx does the best breakdowns for aircraft. He does amazing analysis of aircraft
The F35 serves a different purpose than the F22. The F22 is an air dominance fighter. It is designed to go head to head with the best fighters in the world. The F35 is designed to control the battle space. It can control the weapons on other aircraft, ships, and gound base weapons, like artillery. It is much more advanced technologically than the F22. It is also designed to be easily upgraded. It is difficult to upgrade the F22 with new technology and that it why it has taken years to be able to use more advanced missles. They both have function.
The f35 is newer than the f22 but there’s a reason we don’t export the f22, we export the f35. The f22 is the best jet in service, by far
Think of it this way: the F-16 is multirole in the sense that it is a fighter that can also hit ground targets if needed. The F-35 is multirole in the sense that it is a ground-attacker that can defend itself from air threats if needed. Neither of them have a good chance of winning against an air-superiority fighter from a peer military, but don’t need to for the same reason destroyers were more common in navies than cruisers in WW2.
With the F35, the pilot ideally never sees his opponent. And the opponent doesn't even know the F35 is around. The opponent just explodes. You and most Army soldiers love the Warthog. The Air Force, not so much. They keep trying to get rid of them. They say the F35 fills that role. Seriously? An F35 can not hang over a battlefield and immediately react to a call for help.
F22 is the best plane on earth for rn. F35 is a close second. Different roles.. we are about to introduce 2 new planes that are 6th gen vs 5th gen thru NGAD.
As with most US military aircraft the F22 and F35 are designed to fit specific and different roles in overall military doctrine. While there may be some overlap in capabilities there are reasons why one or the other would be better for a particular mission.
The F-35 is so stealthy that even the US military can't find it quickly when we lose one...
Every plane in US military have a purpose. F35 is best all round air to air, ground, stealth...but not the best at any single one of those. Best air to air is F22 due to stealth and power. F18s are like non stealth f35s good all round. F16 are just fast nimble like F22 but not stealth. F15s are just beasts...fastest, carry most missiles/ b0mbs and have so much power in the engines they can go straight up after takeoff and break the sound barrier while doing it. Th F15EX is going to be used as a weapons tanker.....F35 sees something but launches a missile on an F15EX thats further away at it to keep his stealth. So F=Fighter, A=Attack(ground) B=Bomber E=Electronic warfare(jamming) C=Cargo X=Experimental then u can have some that combine like an EA18 Growler electronic and Attack and the AC130 Attack and Cargo......we have uses for them all........
It’s not puzzling why the Air Force would want the F-15 EX Eagle II. The F-35 fills a completely different role and the F-22 is more like a Navy SEAL. That is why the F-15 is still the main air superiority fighter. A new air superiority fighter is replacing it. It’s that simple.
Portugal Air Force is purchasing these F35 to replace their other jets
The F-22 is much better than than the F-35 or the U.S. would not allow it's export.
This is not considering what the U.S. has; which no one has talked about.
The US Air Force no longer loves the F-22. They have been in a fight with our Congress to let them retire them. They have 32 of them they want to be rid of because it costs them $500 million dollars just to maintain them. They told Congress that the F-22 will never be part of any combat plan because its electronics are so outdated that it would be a total waste of time and money to bother trying. They also said that, in addition to wasting time and money, it would require them to pull talent from making our sixth generation fighter jet. Poor F-22 :(
As for the F-35, the ones we sell to our allies aren’t the same as the ones we use ourselves. Every nation who produces tanks or jets have a domestic model and an export model. There are definitely things in those F-35s we don’t know about.
Congress appropriated 11 billion dollars to upgrade 150 F22’s to include better stealth coatings, updated avionics, infrared search and track capabilities and a helmet mounted cueing system.
NGAD isn’t scheduled to be operational until the mid 2030’s so F22’s will continue to fly until enough NGAD’s are built.
There could be F22’s still in active service until 2040.
I think you should look for other videos than the Military News videos you always watch. These videos assume you know all about the plane they’re talking about & are often concerned with price, parts & stuff like that. There are lots of other videos that will actually give you lots of information about the planes.
There was very little information that was helpful to someone just wanting to learn about a plane.
F-22 has better air superiority capabilities. But the F-35 has better multirole capabilities.
The F35 was designed to have multiple purposes and be a single engine plane. The F22 is pretty much designed for air to air only and has duel engines. The F35 was designed to replace all fighter jets since its a jack of all trades making it cheaper since they all use the same engine.
Did I enjoy this reaction?
100% 😎
It depends on the mission, but f22 is best at stealth and dog fighting by far,us newest version is good at everything but not really the best at anything
3rd best in US military aircraft
Not better, just newer (and that makes it more advanced and yes better). As a pure fighter the F-22 would wipe the floor with the F-35 in 1 vs 1 dogfight, but in the modern battle-space the edge goes to the F-35 for all of it's cutting edge tech.
One plane is not necessarily better than the other because they have different roles.
The F22 is better at it's role, because it's an air superiority fighter, meaning its only job is to take out other aircraft. However, the F35 is a multirole aircraft, capable of doing much more than the F22. So if the job is only air-to-air combat, the F22 is better; if the job is anything else, the F35 would probably be better.
Personally i think the F-35 is a really great plane...lets face it when it comes to the USA development with aircraft we hardly ever make any that are not top notch. But its definitely not the one that gets you super hyped up like the F-15 or F-22, unless you are purely a super tech nerd. No doubt its capabilities on purely being more like a "smart" fighter is unmatched and since it was very recent it has the advantage of all the latest tech developed into it unlike older planes having to get those constantly integrated. But performance wise its meant to be more a jack of all trades...hopefully excelling in all areas well. Its used by air force, marines, and navy and thus has a variant that can even take off/land vertically. So its invaluable for a lot of reasons which is why id say its more valuable for other NATO and ally countries then the USA. Most NATO and Asian allies have them or are getting them...replacing their older generation planes because cost wise it makes sense for them.
Unlike most countries the USA has the budget to continue to upgrade our 4th generation and F-22 fleets...and i think of the F-35 as meant to be the quarterback of the team. Its a great dual threat plane capable of doing a lot of damage on its own but like a QB needs other great players around them also, the F-35 will shine directing our aircraft around it that all are better at certain tasks then it is. Hope that helps clear things up a little bit for you!
Its still not a YF-23, which was the best of the best.
No, the F35 is not better than the F22. There's a reason we sell the F35 and not the F222 our friends, no one but the U. S can have the f 22.
And see I like your reactions to stuff like this. You have a completely unbiased as possible reaction to these systems. With most of what you think and say is better. Based on looks and personal preference, which you blatantly say is the case, so no worries. Thats a completely valid point of view, especially when said up front. And the A-10 is hands down better, for a dedicated tank killer, ground strike and Close Air support (CAS) platform or CAS for a medivac. If I’m station, you can’t beat an A-10 really, unless you got a B-1B or B-52 on station with Jdams and latern or newer targeting pod with some laser guided and SDUs loaded also. Or and AC-130. Now for anything but that one job, the F-35 blows the brakes off of an A-10, or most other platforms. They are insanely advanced and good, and only getting better. With more and more actual readiness, and lower per unit cost. With equal or slightly higher maintenance costs, with far more capability than any other platform save the B-2, B-21 or F-22/A can hope to achieve, but each of those platforms are specialized to one or two roles…and modified to do more, the F-35 can and will do all roles better. Except air superiority role. Or a bomber. As it’s not a strategic bomber, or a dedicated air superiority fighter. But for actual combat, is almost as good for actual missions as a whole. And far. Far cheaper. Plus can and is run by 3 different US branches and many foreign militaries with total numbers being made and used only going up every year, and further driving down price as they said. It’s over 40 million cheaper than the best 4 th gen fighter/multi role jet. That is t stealth and has half of its other capabilities at base level, lol. It is truly ground breaking and mind blowing what we can do
In air superiority F-22 wins F-35 is multi-role never mind saw previous comment beat me to the punch. The US built a total of A, B and C variants A for normal Air Force, B for USMC vertical jump jets and C for Navy for catapult launch. Total planes is 2,456 and F-22 Raptor Air Force only US but like 187 planes so the numbers.
head to head, the F-22 would take the F-35's lunch money every single time. the F-22 still has tech that is classified that is why it wont be sold to other NATO allies. F-35 is a multirole jack of all trade fighter jet. F-22 specializes in dominating the air to air diplomatic relations.
This isn't true unless you're talking guns only. Sensor suite in the f35 is far better than the current raptor
It's not the fastest fighter.
It's not the most maneuverable fighter.
It's not the highest flying fighter.
It's just the deadliest fighter.
With the F-15 having a 104:0 Kill-to-loss ratio, the F-22 is 40 times more deadly due to it's stealth capability. U.S. Federal Law prohibits the sale of the Raptor outside of the U.S. Right now, the NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) is under works and is supposed to be even deadlier. I've said this on a Habitual Linecrosser video, but anything we roll out isn't for the current leader, but the next guy in charge.
Im bias to the F-22 as its the only piece of military equipment the US will not let any other country use. There is a reason lol
I love both aircraft, but I get a feeling that the F-22 is somehow secretly better, just because the US Government doesn't allow other nations to use it, while they let allies use the F-35...
You know, every time you watch a video from "US Military News," I can't help but think that they're saying a lot without actually telling you anything. Every video you say something along the lines of "I have no idea what that means, but I trust him." They give these big words and statistics without actually explaining what it means, so anyone who doesn't already know about all of this stuff- the target audience- isn't getting much out of it.
I still believe the F15EX is superior due to its loadout. Also F35s stealth will be negligible due to external armaments.
They don't load weapons on the wings when stealth is needed, genius. That is called "Beast Mode," which you would know if you had just a little knowledge on the subject. Research for yourself!!
@robertgoodrich8953 without the external load out it has 1/4 what an EX has and both will be bombing with air support. It's stealth capabilities as a strike fighter are moot. It's only sales point is It's multi role and export availability.
F-35 can carry nuclear weapons, did you know that?
The announcer gives some very confusing statistics , on purpose.2012 fiscal dollars? Stretching the data too far.Propaganda/ most videos bragging about aircraft capabilities usually have some,Check how well the F35 did in dogfght games against the F 15 Strike Eagle.It did not win.There have also been many failures within its many systems.You are doing a great job,keep up the good work.
This video is focused on the economics of the air craft rather than its capabilities. You might want to find a different one.
The F-22 is still better than the F-35 but the F-22 cannot be produced again unless outrageous amounts more money are spent. Special but not reproducable cheaply enough.
The F-35 can be produced cheaper for international sale to allies right NOW.
The F-22 is still better but will be replaced by the time the F-22 needs to be retired.
In the meantime, the F-22 will still rule the skies.
The F-35will do just fine for allies meantime.
P&W's stance has now actually bit it int he butt. There is now a new competition for a replacement engine for the F-35, and it will be cheaper than the F135, and at the moment it doesn't look like P&W is going to win, and that GE will win and come in well under P&W's current program. So in short, P&W got greedy and now they are going to lose big time.
No the F-22 we don’t sell the F-35 we do you see
Yup F 22 More advanced Just Cost to much! retired USN!
F22 is king PERIOD.
You picked the wrong F35 video. Look for one with the specs of the plane.
Honestly, this was a bad choice for a video to react to. Over half the video is discussing cost of the aircraft without explaining how that makes it more advanced. To be clear, it's not you, it's the video. I would absolutely recommend a video from Megaprojects or Real Engineering. Both channels have amazing videos about US fighter jets.
the f 15 eagle is better than f 35 and the f22. 104 win no loses in combat. neither one of the newer planes have been challenged . YET
the f 35 is better than other countries aircraft, but not great IMO
"Better then everyone else. But not great."
LOL wut?
As others have said, I would say that the f-35 and the F-22 are equal to each other in overall value and overall strength. But in different ways the F-22 is 95%. Maybe more just air to air combat and the F-22 can literally take down anything in the sky point blank like set in a previous comment and a head-to-head fight. The F-22 would take the f-35's lunch money every single time, but although the f-35 is not as good as the 22 in air-to-air combat, the f-35 being a multi-roll fighter is better at every other mission type involved in air combat than the 22
no
Wes sell F35 to NATO. Not the f22. Think about why. Lol
video is too quiet compared to you
F-22 is a better dog fighter.
this video was more about dollar and sense than ' why the plane is more advanced ' lol military news using click bait titles now...
Andre, that helmet the F-35 pilots where wearing alone is $400,000. it ties in to sensors and cameras located all over the planes surface, which allows the pilot to look through the floor of the plane. giving the pilot a full 360 degree of vision. ( there's better videos if you want to see what the F-35 is capable of, this one sucked).
Not a knock on you, enjoy your reactions.
This was the wrong video to watch to react to. I think there were better options
