The F-35 is superior to the F-22 in literally everything except air-to-air combat.
>During a flight debriefing, Col. Chris Niemi and Maj. Nash Vickers both said a comparison of the radar-absorbing F-35 to its nimble but less stealthy twin-engine F-22 cousin might not reveal the whole story.
>Niemi has eight years in the wienerpit of an F-22 and is one of the few Air Force pilots who is qualified in both the Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II. He said he wanted to set the record straight on the Lightning II, once and for all. “Many have compared the F-22 to the F-35 but that comparison is unfair. With the F-35 Lightning, this fighter sees better, has more range, and is stealthier than any of its predecessors. This airplane, with its fly by wire technology, is super easy to fly and it has a very linear response.”

People always assume that cheap=bad. While that may be true, cheap also means technological advancements and also developments in the production process. F-22 is expensive because its outdated and has a bunch of niche shit thats already been outdated.
No, F-22 is expensive because it's production got cut short. It was unable to take advantage of the economy of scale that F-35 enjoys. NGAD will be the same since that shit will never be exported.
Yup, it doesn't help that the f-22 was a deadend project when it comes to upgrades. The f-35 was built to be improved, which is why there is much focus on it. The f-22 got canned because its just better to develop another fighter like the NGAD.

>F35
>Cheap
It has a cheaper flyaway cost than a gripen or rafael
Air to air combat is the most important thing for a fighter jet to do
Why would F35’s be fighting F22’s?
What?
If the only thing that’s better at air-to-air combat than you will never be your combatant then it’s a non-issue
That may be
a lot has changed since then
in addition to air-to-air, fighters now have to do: EW, SEAD/DEAD, some CAS and strike missions, and even recon at times
Shush, Pierre.
isnt that the one thing fighters are supposed to excel at
Technically it's a multirole fighter.
>Maj. Nash Vickers
Literally nobody else is going to talk about this 80s-action shit right here?
back to hell with you, sprey
>according to reformers this would be better than an f35
moronation is relative
incorrect, it’s the shorter little brother who isn’t as good at one particular thing so he overcompensates everywhere else
>The F35 is simply the F22's bawdtier little sister.
FTFY
