Well,

I don't see the problem. If this thing can take on 8 other aircraft,
then
it means the US needs fewer of them.

What was the ratio for the F-16 and F-18s?

Figure out the difference, and thats how many F-22s we need. Even if
they
do cost more.


That 8 to one ratio was not against planes of equal capability. You
cannot
count on the bad guys having planes only as capable as the F-15/F-16.


The 8-1 was against an F-15 that is at least as capable as anything anyone
else has and more capable than what we will probably up against.
