The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth fighter is being revamped to fly further and detect targets at longer ranges, especially near-peer 4.5 and 5th-generation fighters. The US Air Force announced the $11 billion upgrades for the Raptor at the end of 2021, and now we have a first glimpse of what the upgraded aircraft looks like with new stealth drop tanks and external pylons. So, if war breaks out with China, this is the fighter that will go into the fight. But will these new features be enough to win and preserve US air superiority while it waits for its sixth-generation fighter?
