F-22 A Raptor, (1080HD) RAF Fairford Riat Air Tattoo, Pt 1 (High Definition) 

+Klarg Thanks to that arrogant prick Robert Gates, instead of continuing production of the proven F-22, we have the problem plagued and over budget F-35. In the end, we'd have saved fucking $$$BILLIONS$$$ by now if we'd have just stayed the course with the F-22. We could've also built a navalized version, and still come out paying less. That's not to say the F-35 won't be a world beater in the end, it's still a promising aircraft. But Gates and Congress got it all wrong.

still manufactured most of what was contracted, I believe.

6th gen already built

Heard about plans that they will make new versions of them, Super Raptors

It's alright the Americans still have many kinds of jets fighters and they still have the mighty legend the F-15

Or if the engines were center lined and not 6+ feet apart.

Great takeoff footage!

Fuck yeah James, great wording. BRING TERROR!!!!!!

+Taras Shevchenko suck up to NATO all ou want ukrainian weakling, you will still not get F-22s and no need to act like this is impressive, we all know that su-35 and pak fa can do more intense more advanced maneauvers especiall with its 3d vector thrust while f-22 has only 2 d vector thrust

+Taras Shevchenko Produced F-22: 1996-2011 . This shit never fly properly !!!

+Nerio Laboratory looks like it flies alright watching this, didn't even crash once! I think your over playing it a little haha

+TheBestRU-vidChannelEverTimesInfinity Flying slow and clean is not a true representation of how an aircraft flies in combat. With an internal load, the F-22 can do all of these maneuvers fully armed. Any plane with weapons on the wings will never be able to fly as well. Also, it has 2d thrust because it makes the engines more stealthy. 3d thrust vector gives the plane a higher RCS, with little advantages in its place. The US already tested 3d RCS with the F-22, and found that the stealthier 2d was the better option.

+TheBestRU-vidChannelEverTimesInfinity It doesn't matter if you have 3D thrust vectoring instead of 2D, what matters is how much of an angle the vector has. The F-22 has a better vector angle than any Russian thrust vectoring plane, it doesn't need 3D vectoring - As long as the pilot is taking advantage of his pitch, he will win any dog fight.

Some people alwasy make "claim" n U should research that bogus worthless lies! USA

But its a stealth jet, it also needs wings for the agility and manueovers

Bossgamer9000 It could use thrusters like a spacecraft. lol

It was most likely just a warning for an electrical failssfe seeing as it has 3km of wiring

I think it was when they went to open the weapon bay doors, there was a jam or something, I went for exactly the same reason.

Eric Harris Watching this again I love how the commentator unwittingly rubs our noses in it at the start!!

He can STILL dream on, even though nothing but "pipe dream" even for Isreal, Japan, n UK, Germany WILL BY if US sells, but no dice Germany, US will NOT sell to NO country! USA

They are both tremendous aircraft. Both have different qualities that make them exceptional. The Typhoon is no joke, it is a legitimate threat to the F22. The speed difference might not matter in aerial combat so they are both very great fighters. I do personally like the F22 though.

Typhoon is a tremendous aircraft. I haven't researched it but it looks like it's radar cross section would be far greater.

@@vincebermudez869 speed absolutey matters in air combat.

@@heathfitzgerald363 how much speed you bring into a dogfight matters, I believethey call it energy, owever I doubt you will be fighting and turning at top speed. How you manage your speed in a dogfight I believe is what matters. If you chase an opposing aircraft with too much speed, you could overshoot your adversary and end up in his cross hairs. I'm not exactly sure how you meant speed actually matters but in context to my comment you might want to reevaluate your assessment of speed. I mean the sr71 blackbird is very fast, let's see it in a dogfight.....I know I know, it's not a fighter....you gotta calm down

Plus supercruise

It can theoretically go to Mach 3 with ease. The F119 engines each 35000 lb of thrust equal that of the SR71. However the structure of the plane and skin are not designed to withstand such speed and stress. But the F22 is probably faster than the F15 which is a legitimate Mach 2.5 jet. It is defenitely faster than the published speed of Mach 1.8. That is a gross underestimation.

jeffrey exposito Each F119 puts out 38,850lbs of thrust each on average. It's in the 35,000lb class, but it puts out slightly more than the base class rating.

Just wonder if the engines would still function at those speeds too? The intakes have an important geometry to handle the shockwaves around the inlet. The faster you go, the more shallow the shock angles become and they can really mess with the engines.

@@rowgli supercruise

Xristos Koukoumis Hahahaha, they leave with their heads down because when ones head is down, you smell less of the stink that emanates from your typical Greek!

Xristos Koukoumis Seriously dude? It this the best time to try to tout Greece?

+Xristos Koukoumis They win with what? Their "American" made jets?! Even the pilots probably got their training from the Americans. You are such a pathetic stupid looser. Go dance your ass somewhere else, Mr. Donkey.

Man please did you know that almost the Greek trained pilots in Greece are the 90% in other countries and double paid because they are great? and who always we win the econic fighting in Europe and the best pilots in NATO are Greeks so shut the hell up...

Xristos Koukoumis There is not one case that I could find in any joint US-GREEK air combat exercise where a Greek pilot out maneuvered an American pilot who was flying an F-15, F-16, F-18 or F-22! I looked at all the Red Flag meets plus all then Homestead AFB air combat exercises and training missions. Homestead is where the Greek pilots learnred to fly their Ameerican fighters, they learned American fighter tactics which they follow as their way to fight. I could not find a single Greek pilot who was credited with an air to air victory vs an American pilot. The US military keeps records of every combat mission, training exercises, dog fight whether during war or peace time to evaluate each pilot which goes toward their pay increases, rank and standing in their squadron. I work for Pratt & Whitney military propulsion systems at our hangar/offices at Edwards AFB in Southern California's high desert. I've been with P&W for 24 years as an engineer. The last 7 years I have had a new element added to my job, the upper management at P&W put together a 4 man engineering and mechanics team to assist all partisapants in Red Flag or Green Flag exercises that operate P&W propulsion systems that have any problems during the exercises. I know of any Greek pilots that have stood out at all and the pilots I see during my work day have all said the Greek pilots are basically not very good at air to air combat and ground attack. They have a very low rating amongst pilots from around the world.

You are funny, russians have nightmares about F-22

Perhaps 'slow manoeuvres', but in a combat situation the enemy aircraft would still be completing its turn about a quarter of a mile away. Not that dogfights are particularly relevant these days.

The slow manoeuvres are deliberate. The pilot is showing he has full control both pre and post stall. That was an impressive display. At combat speeds it's as agile as anything else out there:-)

Ofcorce its going slow because its in restricted air space

***** Yes, correct. The lightning had its origin back in 1942! The F15 somewhere in the late 60's due to Vietnam experience and also the appearance of the Mig25. They come from different eras. The lightning, like the Starfighter, was a cold war interceptor. This is fighter v bomber. Its only role was to take off, climb to height and hopefully intercept high flying soviet nuclear bombers, later supersonic bombers, then return to base, rearm and do it again. It was made obsolete with the advent of the ICBM. It had very high performance for its day and it was difficult to catch, but it was also temperamental, and had very short range as we all know. More than 40% of them were lost due to accidents, mainly airborne fires. (I don't think you would lose that many in a war!) That was all it had. Its avionics were virtually non existent. The F15 however, had all the performance of the lightning, had much more range, was reliable, highly manoeuvrable and carried 8 missiles and a gun. Oh, it also had the An/APG-63 radar. I know which one I would prefer:-)

And the most deadly aircraft on planet earth!
