F-22 Fighter Loses $79 Billion Advantage in Dogfights: Report
The United States has spent nearly $80 billion to develop the most advanced stealth fighter jet in history, the F-22 Raptor, but the Air Force recently found out firsthand that while the planes own the skies at modern long-range air combat, it is "evenly matched" with cheaper, foreign jets when it comes to old-school dogfighting.

Who cares lol. Enemy aircraft probably won't be able to get within dogfighting range of the F-22 before its gotten close enough and fired off its missiles.
But how many adversaries are left to come into the merge???
Haha! What a waste of money. Just stick with the F-15E and you'll be fine.
Exactly. If there are Raptors in the area, nobody with a brain in any current aircraft would be likely to challenge them. The likelihood of an actual "old school" dogfight taking place is very slim. That's precicely why it's "old school".
Meant to put this in reply to 99NY's excellent post.
