The Lockheed Martin F-22 'Raptor' is the ultimate air superiority fighter anywhere in the world today. It is the product of the United States Air Force's 'Advanced Tactical Fighter' (ATF) program of the 1980s and designed to counter all modern threats as well as those of the near-future. Nothing in the skies can match it for its combination of performance and capabilities - the type ushered in an entirely new era of flight with its '5th Generation' classification. The design lines of this fine fighter have since been mimicked in the Russian Su-57 and the Chinese J-20 - but neither of these entries can truly match the impact of the proven F-22.
