F-22A Raptors of the 1st FW deployed to
Kadena, Okinawa (Japan), in February, 2007. There is a strong US
national interest case that Pacrim allies such as Australia should be
operating the F-22A rather than less capable or older fighter types (US
Air Force image).

The
centrepiece of the Canberra bureaucracy's arguments against the F-22 is
a claim that the aircraft is not an effective bomber, despite the F-22
being the planned replacement for the F-117A Nighthawk bomber since
1999, and the primary element of the planned US Global Strike Task
Force. The F-22 now carries the GBU-32 JDAM and is being fitted to
carry
the latest GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (above). Like most other claims
made by the Canberra bureaucracy to justify the Joint Strike Fighter,
Super Hornet and early F-111 retirement, the claim that the F-22 is not
viable as a bomber is simply fiction (US Air Force image).
