F 22 raptor in action
fighters are either acquiring earlier designs such as the F-15, General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, and Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, or are waiting to acquire the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter), which contains technology from the F-22 but is designed to be cheaper, more flexible, and available for export.
No opportunity for export currently exists because the export sale of the F-22 is barred by American federal law.
