Dude, these things are so cool.....they can tie into AWACS and JSTARS and I believe other fighters' radar systems thus letting them run totally "quiet", target the enemy, fire their missles and bail without ever turning on their radar....
They have an automatic threat system that determines the most immdiate threats...if you have say 5 bogies, the computer determines the order of the threats...you fire off 5 missles, missles are "fire and forget", and bail out...
a stategy I read about with them was you would have a squadron of F-15's flying decoy...enemy lights them up on radar...F-22 taps into the F-15 or AWACS\JSTARS radar...takes out the bogies that are targeting the F-15's and they are never even seen...
They are ****ing sick.....plus they have directional thrust which literaly allows them to stop on a dime and turn the plane around almost like a helicopter. Though the Russians still have a better directional thrust system.
