F 22 Raptor vs J-10 Fighter – No Contest

China's J-10 fighter is considered one of the most advanced warplanes used anywhere in the world today….though still far inferior technologically to the rival F-22 Raptor says Mainichi.

On paper – perhaps. In reality…let's hope we NEVER find out. Let's hope we NEVER have to consider finding out.

Okinawa has had a dozen F-22 Raptor visitors for the past several months…a deployment intended to show off the fighter's strength in a region where China is flexing it's hugh muscles and North Korea is wishing for a mirror to look into.

The F-22 Raptor played military games with the Japanese and gave pilots training opportunities while at Kadena Air Force base.

Next up…deployment in Alaska (think closer to Russia) and/or Hawaii.

Uh…if you were a pilot who had just spent several months in Okinawa and you had a choice to go to Hawaii or Alaska….which would you choose?
