While the F-35 now outperforms F-22 as a balanced advanced fighter, the F-22 still wins in its air dominance role and some flying characteristics.

The F-22 & F-35s system differences reflect the different time periods they were developed as well as different mission sets.

The F-22 and J-20 are two flagship fighter jets built for different missions with most their true capabilities classified.

The US was the first to develop stealth military jets and is now working to develop the next generation of ultra-stealthy jets.

The aircraft offers exceptional combat capabilities.
