Yes because no one is actively making one, ergo irrelevant. It’s like saying the Russians has the best Supersonic strategic bomber, when they’re the only one that has it
(yes B-1 exist, but their role as strategic bombers has been canned)

And? Point still stands.
Also, B-1B is supersonic. At some point B-1B were supersonic strategic bombers though
Nvm, I think you will never get the point

Maybe, no one else made them because they couldn’t. Closest it got was recon MiG -25
B-1B were strategic bombers though, so still counts
Jesus christ dude, no one made one because no one actively needs it. Ofc development for it will stop, because it is obsolete.
Why is that hard to understand?

It’s literally spelled out for you and you still don’t get it?

I’ll say it again for the last time in bold so it helps you understand. Because no one else is actively making one
Not even the US

Yep, you’re not getting it. Probably gonna need to get checked for that one

As you wrote earlier regarding the Su-35…
this is your American propaganda!..
The F-22 was created under the Advanced Tactical Fighter program…why do you think he was given such parameters (speed parameters for low altitude (speed up to 1.5 M at altitudes of about 2000 ft – 610 meters) and a range of about 1300 kilometers.)…
After receiving information from the traitor Tolmachev about the S-300/MiG-29/Su-27, the program was reoriented to perform Air Superiority tasks…
- But this does not mean that the AN/APG-77 radar, much less the AN/APG-77(V)1, does not have several air-to-surface modes), especially since no one has canceled the reconnaissance functions for the F-22…
- By 2001, only the first version of the Block 1 software was installed on the aircraft that entered flight operation, which included less than 60% of the applications provided by the project.Two software upgrades are expected to be carried out as the F-22 enters service with the US Air Force. The Block 2 software version will allow to “revive” the radar counteraction system installed on the aircraft. The Block 3 version, which is scheduled to appear in 2005, will remove all current issues, thus creating the conditions for achieving combat readiness of the aircraft. It should be noted, however, that this will be the combat readiness of the F-22 as a fighter for gaining air superiority. If by this time a decision is made to equip the aircraft with new-generation air-to-surface weapons, the software modernization process_
will drag on…
P.S. it’s not my problem that the US Congress did not give money and significantly reduced the program, but they gave it to Link16 quite recently…
Accordingly, the F-22 is a typical multi-role fighter.and the problems of the US Air Force Command and the US government are definitely not my problems…
As well as the decision not to produce it for export…The F-22 is an interesting fighter and has a very significant export potential…
As we say, to create an air-to-surface missile system for it is just a matter of spitting…

It’s a pun…
Yes, now the B-1B does not carry nuclear weapons…but since 2018, it has been equipped with the AGM-158AGM-158 JASSM…It is designed to destroy important, highly secure stationary and movable targets (quasi-stationary), in any weather conditions and at any time of the day, from distances outside the range of enemy air defense systems.(and is part of the Air Force Global Strike Command…
The Strategic Command of the United States Air Force ceased to exist in 1992.
Having undergone a number of staff and organizational measures, it is now… Air Force Global Strike Command - Wikipedia
Therefore, the most important question is whether the AGM-158 will be equipped with a nuclear warhead…

yes and now the f-22 is an air superiority fighter because the main focus of the aircraft is on main focus instead of multirole
it doesn’t matter what it was at first, the current f-22 is an air superiority fighter with limited ground striking capabilities
political choices leading to this fact doesn’t change the fact that f-22 is an air superiority fighter
su-35 is a multirole fighter, regardless of what any individual unit uses it for
The US is ahead of everyone else in air-to-air unguided nuclear rocket technology.
You contradict yourself!..
1.yes and now the f-22 is an air superiority fighter because the main focus of the aircraft is on main focus instead of multirole
it doesn’t matter what it was at first, the current f-22 is an air superiority fighter with limited ground striking capabilities
2.su-35 is a multirole fighter, regardless of what any individual unit uses it for
the Su-35S is in service with fighter regiments in Russia and the tasks of air defense are its main role!
Spoiler
If they don’t give you money to finish the F-22A, that’s not my problem!

f22 is a airsuperiorty but it can do bombing missions just not as well as dedicated multirole planes
we have the money its just justifying it is the problem
yet this does not limit the technical capabilities of the aircraft itself. we assign a role of multirole/air superiority/etc to the technical capabilities of the aircraft, instead of the limited sense of unit usage. the aircraft is still multirole even if used for air defense only
it’s still air superiority aircraft even if you claim “they just didn’t have the money to make it multirole” this doesn’t matter, its still air superiority
F35
F22

About the photo…
The real danger today is represented by AGM-158/Stormshadow/Kh-69 class missiles…
Everything else depends on the air defense/electronic warfare grouping concentrated in the location given for the attack…
- This (without entering the air defense zone) is a drop from a height of 6-15 kilometers / range of 60-150 kilometers…
But at the same time, the whole point of stealth technology is lost…
Although some people, in some places, are dropping the AASM HAMMER from the MiG-29 and Su-25 from the convertible…the efficiency in this mode is very low… - Any aircraft using the Radio Horizon effect can sneak up to a range of approximately 100 kilometers if there are no AWACS aircraft…
- And in the USA there were sober heads who did not like a single strike fighter…
“…The Joint Advanced Strike Technology (JAST) program was created in 1993, implementing one of the recommendations of a United States Department of Defense (DoD) “Bottom-Up Review to include the United States Navy in the Common Strike Fighter program.”. The review also led the Pentagon to continue the F-22 Raptor and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet programs, cancel the Air Force’s Multi-Role Fighter (MRF) and the Navy’s Advanced Attack/Fighter (A/F-X) programs, and curtail F-16 and F/A-18C/D procurement. The JAST program office was established on 27 January 1994 to develop aircraft, weapons, and sensor technology with the aim of replacing several disparate US and UK aircraft with a single family of aircraft; the majority of those produced would replace F-16s. Merrill McPeak, former Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, has complained that Defense Secretary Les Aspin’s decision to force all three services to use a single airframe greatly increased the costs and difficulty of the project.” - Accordingly, I do not know how in others, in the US Air Force the main strike fighter will be the F-15EX, like our Su-34…)

except something like the s-400 can shoot down a plane from 150km+ which is where stealth comes in, also so they can strike further behind the lines. another important aspect is actually locating the radars with standalone information and being able to have actionable location for them
additionally r-37m might not be as big of a threat, atleast at the biggest ranges it is being fired at
regardless of whether you think of stealth being useful or not, the f-35 and su-35 are multirole fighters while the f-22 is an air superiority fighter regardless of what they earlier wanted it to be. it is what it is now. f-22 is an air superiority fighter.
valuable targets can be further back regardless
That’s a strange thing to hope for tbh
