House Legislation Orders F-22 Restart Study
Almost five years after Lockheed Martin shut down production of its F-22 stealth fighter jet, House legislation released Tuesday would direct the Air Force to look into restarting the assembly line. (www.defensenews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
We should keep making the f-22 because, well, just look at the f-35, it's worse than the f-22
Good..Because I read that F-35 is a real turkey
Ok so you lost the B-21 contract. We’ll compensate you by giving you 10-20 billion $ for that plane we said we didn’t need more of and cost too much – what’s it’s name? oh yeah F-22.
And we’d like to take this opportunity to thank your lobbyists for that $10,000 contribution to our reelection campaigns.

I think you are confusing the 22 with the 35... which has cost many times over what the 22 has, and still doesn't have a single hour of operational flight time.
"in light of the growing perception that the US military is losing its technological edge to adversaries like Russia and China" Welcome to the conversation Mr. Congressmen. We are still defending our country with 30 year old + aircraft technology... which it may be a good thing given the status of the F-35 project.
Defending from what? Who is going to invade? Canada? We have wars of aggression, not defense. This is not about "defense." We create enemies we didn't have before. The real wars we should worry about today are political and economic. We are losing those, and we can't win them by building fighters and aircraft carriers.
hmmmmmm. So the military buildup that China and Russia is currently carrying out is nothing to worry about then. By the way, of the other wars you mention, the political, I don't know it has a solution as it seems every single american has a different opinion on what the solution is. We have become a country of individualists instead of Americans. On the economic war, we can only win it with our wallets. As long as the US is addicted to cheap priced goods, our economy will be at the mercy of foreign countries. You cannot produce cheap goods while paying $22.00/hr to produce them and a large portion of the population cannot afford goods made in the US because their salaries are so meager. So, is it the chicken or the egg?
