The f-22 is not slow, its capable of a maintained super sonic speeds unlike any other fighter jet in the world. All other super sonic jets can only use their afterburners for a short period of time because of fuel consumption and the heat generated will melt the tail pipe. The f-22 can sustain super sonic flight for long periods of time over longer distances...check your facts buddy, the mig-29 is older technology you may want to update your anti american propaganda to the su-37 if you want even a chance for a duel with the f-22, but that will also fail because the su-37 won't even see the f-22 until its already in flames because of the stealth tech. and visual identification has been obsolete for a generation or two since the invention of the stand-off missile...fyi the f-22 uses the amraam that can shoot down an enemy plane from over twenty miles away outside of visual contact.

F-14, F-15, F-sixteen,F-22 can all smoke the Mig-31, yet do no longer think of the-31 is a weakling. that's an quite in a position platform that has tough field skill which that's opposite numbers have not got fun with. Of the F series warring parties, the F-22 Raptor is the precise dogs & the meanest dogs on the block.

Maybe because that's the flight profile and characteristics it was designed for.
Going FAST is not necessarily the best flight profile. Sometimes stealth and maneuverability are superior.
The F4 Phantom was nowhere near as fast or maneuverable as the MIG-21, yet our kill ratios were astounding.
Some ex-military guy, if you didn't recognize that . . .

Mach 1.8 is slow ?????
How about it being the only plane in existence that can fly at a SUSTAINED Mach 1.5 (no gas guzzeling afterburners needed)

No need for speed when your rocket does the talking.
