Even if the resources are managed‚ the inadequacy of country’s depth and the location of enemy air bases will certainly reduce the effectiveness of the Interceptor fighters‚ as these would get less response time. Therefore‚ more and more dependency on ADA forces is a viable option because these are comparatively less costly‚ easy to maintain and not much affected by country’s depth. AIM 3.

Despite its youth as a fighter the current pilots consider it to be nearly as reliable as mature F-15 and F-16 fighters. In the following essay we will cover the F-22 program‚ weapons‚ stealth‚ and avionics. I hope to some day be inside the cockpit of an F-22 as a full fledge fighter pilot in the USAF.
