“i said the f-22 because IF the there was a Russian American war it would be later when f-16 will be fazed out for say the f-22. Panzer Howitzer 2000 is a awsome piece of mobile artillery. where will the Russians get Experience. i don't doubt the KA-50 black shark would win in a one on one fight with the AH-64 but there is only 15<>18 of them. we have 650+. so 650 gunship anti tank helicopters vs 15<>18 anti gunship and attack helicopter do the math. i think its funny that the Russians are making a air drop ACP and the marine core is making the new AAAV.”

-Most likely the F-35 over the F-22 Raptor, though a war will not happen between the two for quite a while unless something sparks the two into a conflict.
“F-22 Raptor Airframes Falling Apart Due to Bad Glue”
“According to a just-released Air Combat Command report, 30 of the F-22A Raptors delivered by Lockheed Martin use "inadequate adhesive" in their airframes. That means two things in plain language: bad glue; and big trouble.
The report comes after investigators finished looking into an accident that happened last November. Part of the airframe of a F-22A fell off into the engine intake, causing a whopping $1.2 million of damage.
And, while we understand that machines so amazingly complex will always have flaws that need to be ironed out, let's hope they used SuperGlue with the F-35 Lightning II. Or gum.”

“where will the Russians get Experience”
-In Chechnya, the Russians have fought through the 90s up until 2002.
“i don't doubt the KA-50 black shark would win in a one on one fight with the AH-64 but there is only 15<>18 of them.”
-The KA-50 would win, though there is not enough of them, there are 16 currently active in the Russian military the military is planning on stop building the Hinds and move on towards building a bunch of KA-50 attack helicopters.
“. i think its funny that the Russians are making a air drop ACP and the marine core is making the new AAAV.”
-From what I know there hasn’t been any talk of building any new amphibious vehicles for the US military.
