PhiGam, I agree with you partially. Though the F-22 is an outstanding fighter plane, Russia still has effectively perfected thrust vectoring technology. They're also able to build their aircraft at a cheaper cost. The Mig 29 Fulcrum cost a lot less to maintain than our F-18Es, but at the same time is just as effective in air to air combat. You also have to take in account that Russia also has very effective long range bomber technology as well. If we did win, that would probably be because China and Russia would have a hard time feeding their soldiers. The same problem that the Germans had during WWII. Germany had far superior technology than the Allies but yet they still lost the war. Where do you think the B2 bomber's shape came from?
