The United States' restrictions on core technologies are stricter than everyone imagined, and the United States, no matter how many allies it is, will not share or sell the most core technologies to them. The F22 Raptor and F35 Blitz are the best examples, the F22 fighter far surpasses the F35 fighter in terms of performance and technical content, the F22 is exclusive to the United States, and the F35** is given to core allies or allies who need strategic cooperation.
F22 fighter and F35 fighter performance and technology comparison to see the gap between the two:
The F22 flies higher than the F35:The Raptor ceiling is 20,000 meters, while the lightning ceiling is 18,000 meters, flying high has an inherent advantage in air combat. There is also more room to dodge in the protection against anti-aircraft missiles.
The F22 flies faster than the F35: the Raptor's maximum speed is 2Mach 25 (2410 kmh), while the maximum speed of the lightning is only 1Mach 6 (1,930 kmh), it can be seen that the F22 flies much faster than the F35, which gives the F22 an absolute advantage in air combat or assault.
The F22 flies farther than the F35:The Raptor has a range of 3,000 kilometers and a lightning range of 2,200 kilometers。The Raptor flies farther, and the range advantage represents the strength of the strategic deterrent capability.
The F22 carries more weight than the F35: the Raptor has a maximum take-off load of 38 tons, while the Lightning has only 31 tons, and the Raptor has a bomb load of about 9 tons, while the Lightning has only 8 tons. The load is a direct indicator of the number and performance, so the F22 has certain advantages over the F35 in terms of performance and quantity.
The F22 is more stealthy than the F35:The reflective surface of a raptor is 001-0.001.Whereas, the reflective surface of f35 is 005, It can be seen that the stealth performance is not at the same level, many people say that the F35 is not a stealth fighter, and the reflective surface of the bird is 001。
F22 can see farther than F35: the Raptor uses the APG-77V2 radar, with a detection range of 400 kilometers, and a detection range of 200 kilometers in stealth, while the Lightning uses an APG-81 with a detection range of only 170 kilometers.
The United States only sells F35 and does not sell F22 because it needs to maintain hegemony
From the performance parameters of the F22 Raptor and F35 Lightning, you can intuitively see the gap between F35 and F22, F22 in addition to China's J-20 is the world's leading, stealth, ultra-high speed, strong maneuverability is the strategic ** for air supremacy, but also the strategy of the assault defense system, this kind of strategic advantage can only be used by yourself, only with a sense of security, but also to have deterrence and suppression of other countries, so how can **F22?
The United States only sells F35 and does not sell F22 is maintenanceTechnological supremacyYes:
F22 whether stealth materials, or F119 turbofan engine, APG-77V2, or avionics intelligent integrated system, as well as the first system, are the latest technological achievements of the United States, the technology is leading in the world, if the F22** to other countries, then the possibility of this technology being leaked or imitated will be greatly improved, the United States' technological advantage is gone, if there is no technical advantage, then there is no strategic advantage; If you don't have a technical advantage, how can you sell**? How can you still fight for money?
The United States sells F35 in large quantities, in addition to making money, it is also a control over its allies:
There are only China, the United States, and Russia equipped with stealth 5th generation fighters in the world, and the F35 is a product between the 4th and 5th generations to replace the real 5th generation fighters, so the F35 can not compete with China and Russia, but also has a certain advantage over the fighters of other countries, so the United States has made such an intermediate product to help allies have a little advantage in air supremacy, and can control allies not to independently develop 5th generation aircraft, and can also sell money, why not! F22 unit price 1$500 million, while the unit price of the F35 is as high as 1$200 million.
In summary:
The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Italy have equipped more than 100 F35s, and Japan, Singapore, South Korea, etc. have also equipped dozens of them, but so far there has not been a single F22** for other countries. From the performance comparison of the F22 Raptor and F35 Blitz, it can be seen that the Lightning is one level lower than the Raptor, soThe U.S. military uses the F35 as an auxiliary fighter for the F22 in its positioning, like the F16 and A10 attack aircraft, and not as a strategic **. The advanced nature of the F22 in stealth, radar, and avionics systems cannot be used by other countriesIt is not only for the sake of technological security, but also for the sake of maintaining technological leadership, so that it can maintain its strategic security, strategic deterrence, and strategic blackmail through military leadership, so the United States only sells F35 and not F22 in order to maintain its hegemony
