Building New F-22 Raptor Fighters Would Be a Giant Mistake

Restarting the F-22 Raptor production line is a “pipe dream” that is not feasible or strategically wise. The industrial base, including the assembly line and specialized subcontractors, no longer exists, and a 2017 Air Force report estimated a restart would cost a staggering $50 billion. Furthermore, the F-22’s 1990s-era technology is now obsolete and would require an extensive and costly redesign to remain relevant.

When the Pentagon opposes an idea then it must be a good one.

I thought Biden didn't build more because they were "too expensive" and now the Trump administration isn't only building more, its building them with improvements which must be more expensive. :shrug:
