Yeah, am sure you're talking about the F-15A from 1972
Sorry to pop your balloon, the KE B has the AI-322F engine with 40kN thrust, do you know what else in the fighter market has 40kN class thrust ?
Yep the AMX Ghibli
that power generation will affect your power supply for your radars, your ECM, and basically the electronics you plan to install onboard not to mention its flight performance.
The Turkish defence industry has grown so much and I'm happy for them, but please do some research next time.
The US military is probably the most tech savvy fighting forces that ever exist since Adam and Eve were sent to earth, that means if it is "outdated", they will know better than all of us here in the forum.
They actually has the luxury to retire the most advanced flying objects in the world just because they felt the software no longer cut. So the F-22 being 90s outdated are out of the question. The USAF updated its aircraft more regularly than any air forces exist.
Should the Air Force retire the F-22 before its replacement arrives?

If the F-22 is outdated, then what should we call other planes other than the F-35 out there ?
Most don’t realise just how powerful it’s electgronics are, specifically the avionics suite is. The ALR-94 EW suite are comprised of more than 30 RWR antennas compared to 3–4 RWRs on a typical Fighter. The early ALR-94 could track enemy aircraft from over 250 nmi with an accuracy of 1° by 1° in both azimuth and elevation. Put it short, a single F-22 can passively track an airborne emitter faster and with greater accuracy than 3 Gripen-E or EF Typhoon working together.
While the APG-77v1 are reported to be able to track targets faster than AWACS.
Abhirup Sengupta's answer: Stealth isn’t a binary entity. Carrying external weapons will degrade RCS but it won’t necessarily remove stealth altogether. As far as performance is concerned, even putting stealth aside F-22 is really a generation ahead of everything else, except the F-35. The F-22’...
