I love the F-22 so much, and she looks so beautiful in that capri sun skin. That mission was a rush. That AWACS crew; what a way to go... Rolled over just after takeoff and no chance to bail out. That was a nasty crash.

Everything in this mission was awesome!!! The SR72 flying on the edge of the atmosphere glowing red hot, the unrestricted climb after take off, the crazy hard turn to defeat the russian missile, the B2 casually dropping his deadly payload, every each detail was just perfect 😙🤌 (KISS CHEF)

When the F22 is the oldest aircraft with the simplest tech/stealth on the mission...

Loving these more hypothetic, futuristic sci-fi scenarios, but I think this one is straining credibility a little bit. A new batch of Su-57s actually getting delivered? Really breaks my suspension of disbelief.

It's hard to decide which is more far fetched... an SR-72 delivering a cruise missile strike or the Russians delivering a squadron of functional SU-57's. I think I'll call both things equally unlikely.
