F-22 Raptor vs F-35 Lightning II

The F-22 is a dedicated air superiority fighter with superior speed (Mach 2.25 vs Mach 1.6) and maneuverability, while the F-35 is a multi-role stealth fighter designed for versatility across air, ground, and naval missions with lower operational costs. The F-22 dominates in pure dogfighting capability, but the F-35 offers greater mission flexibility and advanced sensor fusion across three service variants.
