Country:  | it's an interesting point in the BVR discussion, only in a massive WWIII situation would such attacks be allowed, the politics these days would prevent BVR shooting through fear of what the press will say if it goes wrong, they have the power to topple governments............

If any nation sends up A/C against US air assets, I see zero hesitation in taking them out before they can engage. You don't even need high speed F-35s or 22's to do that. Even Hornets can link up w/ E-2s or AWACS and "see" targets way beyond the capabilities of their own radar systems.

Country: | Both are true, but somewhat different issues.
If you think WWII then "blips" on radar don't offer any clue as to identification of said aircraft. Today radar is MUCH more sophisticated and offers MUCH higher resolution than that. Further electromagnetic emmissions are used to help classify targets. So intelligence gathering is magnitudes different that what you might imagine from a WWII battlespace.
Finally, the analogy to AWACS is spot on. But F-22s can accomplish much of this capability further into the battlespace and without risking an AWACS assets. Certainly AWACS has more computing power, but cannot project itself into the melee.
Battlespace management and networking information is key to future air combat.

Country: | come on matt, being an Electrical Engineer decoding the links should be a walk in the park
btw, how is that trying to crack the DVD algorithms project going? 
solved world hunger yet?

Are you mocking me, Lanc?

Country: | you're being very secretive that's all, it's almost as if you're somehow involved in these very secretive data links
