Maybe a prototype that never saw general use

The planes were never meant to be long range

Fighter jets can do what's called 'hot pit refueling' where the plan lands, taxis, and gets refueled without turning off the engine

F-22 is for America only

No F-22 for you British Peasants

22 has more top secret stuff than the 35

WELL

as you know USA. EVERYTHING is on the table in a deal

The whole range issue is as follows... destroy the supply chain and they're useless

Try us

Capture Iran ASAP

Oh look, carrier is much closer than they would normally deploy - must be using those expensive stealth planes again

That's what YOU think

The range is the same...

and with the new anti ship missiles that Russia is developing, you may not want to park you expensive carrier that close to the enemy

Also there is mid air refuel if really needed

We've got allied nations surrounding every enemy

Carrier can deploy at the same range

What @Goblin_Slayer_Floki Said

Also, we can build bases and fuel farms where ever we want in a matter of DAYS

We arnt world hegemony for nothing

I hope so

Carrier Air Defense: *Exists*

Russian Anti-Ship Missiles: *runs away*

Tbh, I'm conflicted with Iran

I think they attacked the vessel

They said they would do this

Iran's missiles can't reach north America, so it's not our problem

On one hand I don't want another war...And Russia could get involved.
On the other, I actually support the Iran Prince, and his want to bring A Constitutional Monarchy to Iran that is a blind of US and UK government

They were caught trying to cover it up

@Fitzydog They can hit shipping, allies, ect

This is an Iran VS SA thing, and we should not inject ourselves into it

They attacked Japanese and Norway Shipping

what will affect the US is the oil price as it will sky rocket if it get any worse

Nah

It wont

We outproduce the Saudis

Condemn that, and give a good warning about third party ships, and then let them sort it out

I'm leaning towards death of the Iranian Itola simply for attacking the Japs

Iatola...however the fuck you spell that
