Looks like someone defragmented his ribbon collection too.

Not the kind of frag many would have wanted I'd wager...


Hmmm, the Golden Goose has a problem, if the J-10 is as maneuverable as some think it is (rivalling the F-18F) then if a mass of J-10s were able to push through the long range missile spam of the F-22s, then the Raptors would find themselves in deep trouble. Particularly since an F-18 has already 'shot' down a Raptor at close range in tests:



The F-4 turned out to be a solid aircraft once they remembered to put a cannon in it and the AAMs were tweaked to be more reliable. Let's hope that the F-22 turns out the same way...but the cost is worrying. Will they become so expensive that they are never used for fear of breaking them?
