while I know the F-22, and know what a truly great weapons platform it is, I cant say I know as much about the f-35. The Biggest advantage for the f-22 is that it truly lets a fighter pilot fight, and not worry about flying. The amount of mental power taken just to fly most fighters is a majority of mental power, with the rest to the actual fighting going on. The F-22 almost reverses this, giving a huge edge before even counting weapons, speed and mobility....personally I think that is where the future for now lies, not in unmanned planes. Unless the speeds and mobility are just that much better, I foresee maned planes being the key still with no computer program able to match a good pilot. In time will it happen, most likey...but we also have to keep in mind that China and Russia dont are hurt by this world econ as well, and we outspend both combined as it is. If we cant stay ahead of them, its not going to be due to we did not spend enough, its that we spent to much on things we did not need.As far as terrorism being the fight the US will have for the next generation of warfare...I think it will be a key that will take up the majority of our time the next 10-15 years ...but I don't see the next major threat as being one that we will will win with better fighters and better tanks...but better computers. The 4rth Generation of warfare ( 3rd being terrorism.2nd modern aka wwII..and first being more early WWI) will be with done more and more with hacking systems, and causing chaos with a nations systems ..Power, money, telecommunications...and other such things. of course the threat of a major nation going to war with us will always be there, but it to me still is unlikely do to the interconnections in the word econ...and the basic fact that any major war like that will be very very bad , very fast for both sides and no one will come out ahead, but will just lose. Of course that does not mean we dont stand on guard for it.
