Want the F-22 designed for narrower scenarios, and so part of the other is we'd never need as many?

Want the F-22 designed for narrower scenarios, and so part of the other is we'd never need as many?
- cbsmith 4y agoAutocorrect shames me. "Wasn't the F-22 designed for narrower scenarios, and so part of the problem is we'd never need as many?"
- tadfisher 4y agoThe original order was for 750 airframes, so not likely. The main reason production ended completely is that the contract didn't allow for export (unlike the F-35) and the sole buyer stopped ordering planes.
- KptMarchewa 4y ago750 is the narrow role in the US military, for strictly air superiority fighter. They want like 2500 F-35 eventually.
