| #7 It's fine that the first squadron that has them is outside DC. I just hope the next squadron is based in Turkey or Iraq or Kuwait or Afghanistan where they will come in handy. |

| #6 What would that be I wonder? They must not be talking about planes Nuke sites, or other highly defended targets. The standard package now is to send in ECM jammers and F-16/18s to take out the fighters above a target, then the Wild Weasel fighters immediately after to suppress the SAMs and AAA fire. THEN send in the bombers to blast the site to hell. With the F/22s, they can hit the SAMs and AAA along with the enemy fighters since they are stealthy and can hit the enemy before they are seen, removing most of the need for ECM planes. Then, the same F/22s can hit the site with JDAMs. Fewer aircraft needed, more effective hit. I love our military.... |

| #5 âWe can go against threats that F-16 (Fighting Falcons) and F-15s wouldnât even think about trying to attack,â What would that be I wonder? They must not be talking about planes. |
