    No, it doesn’t. Russia, France, Britain, Brazil, Canada all make air capable weapons.

    Again, you’re just arguing and not being helpful here. Bye.

      none of those countries make a weapon system capable of shooting down an f22

      edit because this slipped by me the first time, but “air capable weapons” is an absolutely hilarious phrase

      what the fuck do you mean “air capable weapons”? weapons that are capable of firing upwards? is a ww2-era flak cannon an “air capable weapon”? is a shepherd’s sling an “air capable weapon” because you can fire it upwards if you try? absolute clown show with you this is great

      Again, you’re just arguing and not being helpful here

      “excuse me you aren’t agreeing with me please could you stop arguing with me and start being helpful”

      i hope you’re drunk or something because this makes no sense

        Again, you are wrong.

        Germany and Finland both make stealth adversary systems. Finland even makes tracking systems that are specifically tailored to supersonic weapons. Both mentioned in that last assault on Ukraine that Russia didn’t waste money trying again.

        Britain makes one of the most capable air-air tracking systems in the world, which is why that is employed on things like “The Dome”. You for some reason thought the US alone was just making all these things?

        Finally, you apparently didn’t realize why this whole thread started. I asked for better solutions. You’ve provided zero, and worse conversation about the topic. That’s why we are conversing.

        Later.

          yes the f22 is notable because it’s supersonic, not for any other reason, you definitely know what you’re talking about

          Britain makes one of the most capable air-air tracking systems in the world

          britain regularly engages in friendly war games with the us, and regularly loses the very minute the f22 stops taking handicaps, what is your point?

          the british made starstreak is probably one of the best manpads out there, and against an f22 it may as well be a piss-filled water balloon, because f22s don’t fly low enough for manpads to be effective

          the iron dome isn’t even the theoretical israeli system that would intercept an f22. that would be david’s sling, and i seriously doubt that raytheon, the american company contracted to create it, would be legally permitted to outsource a system that could shoot down the us’s best plane

          i provided 3 better solutions, and you limp-wristedly whined about how other countries in europe exist

              You can’t enforce a “No Fly Zone”

              “omg why are you talking about supersonic capability”
