You can make anything look good in an exercise in an exercise you are not actually firing a real life missile for starters.Any person that puts their faith in
something based on supposed performance in an exercise clearly has not spent a day in the military or is a bit naive.The US military is always fighting under un favorable ROE why will the F-22 be an exception? So the F-22 has an impressive pretend kill ratio.Honestly I simply distrust the military industrial complex in the US.

What matters is real combat of which the F-22 has seen none until a piece of military has seen the harshness of front line conditions and the reality of real combat it has not been truly tested.You also never assume that the ROE will be in your favor.Vietnam is a good example of this in 1965 there was an incident where an F-4 shot down another F-4 with an Aim-7 after this the ROE was that a boogie had to be visually IDed before and engagement.
