BLOW-Y STUFF UP FANCY SUPER AWESOME JETS GO ZOOM! AWESOME!

This post is for my Mom, who asked.

This is the F-22




This is the F-35



They basically do the same thing, they are more stealthy than either of the Stealths and both of them can shoot down other planes (from over the horizon) and blow up things on the ground.

The top one costs about $350 million each.

The bottom one costs about $135 million each (and it is more versatile and adaptable).

The top one was has parts built in 40 different states (so that it would be cancel-proof) while the bottom one does not. The big difference is that the F-22 has always been one of those super fancy military projects and the F-35 has quietly been developed to actually fulfill practical needs.

And why do we need either one? Some people will say we don’t because we are never going to have to dog-fight the Soviet air force, and they are right, but while it is really expensive to have an air force, it is not really that expensive to get a good radar and some missiles. Basically all American military strategy relies on the given that we will be able to establish air superiority, planes like these are how that is done.

And anyway, as far as I'm concerned, the F-35 is way cuter!
