Description
Got bored and desided to do a lineart of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor...I might do something with it, try to encorporate it into another drawing of mine sometime down the road, or something...Would've colored it, but I was already starting to fall asleep anchoring the damn points to do the lines...Good thing I have an extra hour to sleep this Sunday due to DST...I should be doing a reading-reaction paper for my COM 252 class, but instead I'm doing linearts of fuckin' fighter jets...My, I have priorities...

Cool but my fave fighter jet is the F-15 Eagle, while my fave Attack Chopper is the AH-64 Apache and my fave fighter plane is the P-51 Mustang
Can I color this

Yes, the F-22 Raptor is on such a level of badass, that the US is too selfish to even share it with our best of allied friends, and even the second most badass Decepticon in the universe takes the form of the F-22...
Badass, indeed, innit?

Yeah!
Well, bear in mind that the F-22 is also the most expensive fighter in the world. So, we will be sharing another less expensive, high-tech fighter with our allies - The F-35 Lightning II.

Well see, the reason why the US can't sell the F-22 Raptor to foreign countries is because it's too sensitive and expensive, and that there's also a federal ban on it's sale because of those reasons on top of that...
The F-35 Lightning II is inherently cheaper because it's a more conventional and smaller single-engine multirole jet that has the financial project backing of almost a dozen nations...It also helps that much of it's stealth technology is pre-existing from the F-22 Raptor, which also helps make it cheaper to produce...Besides, while the F-15/F-16/F/A-18s are all very capable, let's admit; They're a bit outdated, and if they're outdated, than anything else that a foreign ally would be flying that's older than those jets are also outdated...
I didn't mean to say the US is stingy in a cynical type of way, but I could still see some reasons why the US would want to keep the F-22 Raptor special to just the USAF...We share everything we make to other militaries around the world; I think we deserve something to call our own...

Yeah, you got a point. I just hope that we don't get carried away...

Well, as a country with the most strongest military, but by no means without some sort of evolving threat to it, the US kind of needs it's own "trump card" of sorts...
But then again, exclusivity isn't something exclusive to the F-22 Raptor, sayyyy, the B-1 Lancer/B-2 Spirit/B-52 Stratofortress long-range bomber trio...
