Sad to say that these craft will never see combat outside the world of fiction, but it's still cool to think about.
Anyone who says that the F-22 was a better choice is a D1 glazer and doesn't know what they're talking about.
A squadron of YF-23s to bomb, strafe, or just to give the airports some life. The planes are 38 parts a piece.

@MetallicBeef6572 I feel like having f-22 and yf-23 would have been good, f-23 has longer range and more stealth and would of made it good for intercepting, and it was about half the price of f-22
@Hooha12 Not really the case, its not that the F-22 is bad, the argument is that the YF-23 would have been better, it was faster, more stealthy and had a longer range than the F-22. The only thing that saved the F-22 was its maneuverability and Lockheed's track record, which ironically didn't hold up after the F-22 was selected for production. Just a shame really.
YF-23 > F-22 . F-22 so dogshi it barely had any made and already getting replaces by F-35, if we got yf-23 it would NEVER need replacement
Perfectly Surface Target-able
yes so true
YF-23 should have won
