Why are Americans still stuck with 20+ years old F-22s and M1A2s?

No challenge; plus thinking the Skunk works and Phantom works don't have new stuff is kinda naive.

That's nothing, do you have any idea how old these mfers are??
Here's a hint: That's a spot for a gun turret on the back.
They still work great
To protect you from china boy.
Why do you Japanese Chong’s have to buy our old F-15s and Rebadge F-16s and call them F-2 Niggers? Make your own shit you Vietgook
We continuously integrate new technology into our older models in order to match and exceed the developing threats and challenges they will face. So, by no means are they identical to the F-22 from two decades ago. Does that answer your question?

amazing that these things are still in service
>Stuck
Because we're 20-30 years ahead of almost everyone else. Mass producing a better aircraft would be a mistake; you're not even a match for this one. All future development is going to have to be very closely guarded thanks to chinks stealing everything can find.
Military aircraft aren’t built like cars and consumer goods. They don’t work for 5-10 years then fall apart.
Big Gray F-22 Raptor fucks, gunna get them some chinese butts. Big american cocks throbbing hard. they even fuck chinese out in their yards.
Because no one has made anything better?
older than these?
They aren't.

Who knows what skunkworks is currently developing.
it also uses turbojet engines
except b52's are actually usable
a-10's are completely obsolete and can't be used anywhere at this point.
The old turbojet variants all got retired decades ago, the B-52H has low bypass turbofans
>completely
>anywhere
Could have agreed with "practically" and "against substantial anti-air defense or moderately contested airspace", except you had to be a retard and throw in these ridiculous modifiers to your assertion.
Imagine thinking the military industrial complex is gonna show even a sliver of their capabilities.. I am concerned for you op.. Go get a brain scan.
Stuck? It’s all we need. And it’s the only reason NK doesn’t come down and push your shit in.
Also the f22 from 20 years ago still stomps on every other fucking jet fielded by our adversaries . Even our old f15s still fuck hard
lol a10c is a monster; can tank Strella hits and fly with a wing missing.
Age means nothing really as long as the airframe holds out the internals get recycled. The raptor has an upgrade program in place till 2040 it's getting a lot of hand me downs from the f35 next year.
