Exactly, the F22 was in service for 20 years, the the only thing it was ever able to shoot down was that Chinese balloon last year. The US airforce actually sent up two F22s to take out that one balloon, i guess each pilot was too scared to go up against the balloon alone. And that was after the US military was clueless about what do about the balloon and let the Chineese spy over all over the US for a whole week.
Because no country or pilot is dumb enough to go against an F22.A Russian soldier on the front line in Ukraine has a better chance of survival than a Russian fighter jet pilot against an F22. The F22 and 35 is so superior to the Russian junk that China tries non stop to steal data on The F22 and 35 and build their own jets copying them rather than buy Russias 5th generation fighter,which really isnt even a 5th generation fighter jet. The US cant meet the demand of its allies that want to buy The F22.Russias allies don't want to buy The SU 57 even though Russia has been trying to sell them for years
Get a real source. If you claim that the article is sourced from another reputable site -- then link to the other site. But this particular article does not come from another reputable site -- it is from Russian propagandist, Mike Whitney -- a regular contributor of complete crap to The Unz Review. The Unz Review merely peddles hate and propaganda on the behalf of foreign governments -- the site has low factual reporting and an extremist right-wing viewpoint.
Now we're getting to your real objections to the article. It's a nice balance to the propaganda you post.
You regular post crap from low quality sites -- not providing the url in clear text -- because you know upfront the website is a crap news source with no reliability. This includes all your nonsense from RT (controlled by the Kremlin) and other direct propaganda sites. I provide the links for articles in clear text and avoid using extremist sites while sticking to mainstream news sources. Of course, most news sources in the modern world have a bias but the information and facts found in the mainstream articles are much more reputable than the crap blog sites you use. Use real new sources --- or have the crap you post called out for their extremist, non-factual sourcing.
You also fail to distinguish between foreign government propaganda and the writings of genuine Western dissidents.
Yeah, we have seen most "genuine Western dissidents" are being paid directly from Moscow or other foreign governments. This claim is laughable when these "dissidents" merely parrot the latest Kremlin talking points.
You post sloppy URLs instead of using neater hyperlinks, and you are an uncritical disseminator of Western and particularly Israeli propaganda, whether it is from sites you deem respectable, blogs or twitter feeds. Of course Western propaganda is likely to slip into mainstream publications in the US, and contrary views to be squelched. That why platforms like the Unz review are important. They give contrary views such as Mike Whitney and Philip Giraldi an outlet.
