Why Only America Flies The F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter

Summary

KEY POINTS:

• With so many potentially sensitive technologies in the F-22, the US won’t even allow a stripped-down ‘export’ variant.
• There are likely aspects of the F-22 that no other country has replicated.
• The F-22 program was cut short, so production processes may not have been sufficiently established to support foreign variants.
