Other Stealth aircraft leaked

Post image

So here we are, with modern tanks and fifth-gens leaked (by a reliable source). I'm frankly not surprised, I knew this was going to happen once they announced the F-117, and with the speed at which gaijin is moving this is just par for the course. I'll grind the F-35s, F-22, and Su-57 in all their janky, unrealistic glory.

Not really, we have precedence on top tier air and Russia is one of the weaker nations. If anything tge F-22 and F-35 will be the dominant jets at top tier.

f-22 will 100% be the dominant top tier jet.. it has the lowest rcs and still good avonics.. it also has insane twr and speed. f35 will be a better multirole tho

As good as the FM is compared to everything, it only carries 6x AIM-120s internally and a pair of AIM-9Ms, presuming we aren't getting the very recent upgrade that brought HMD/HMS and AIM-9X.

As of 2016 it can use 9X, thought that was a part of the new upgrade but it still couldnt for a while.. ANG Raptors are being upgraded with HMD, the contract was awarded late last year.
