Definitely. F-117 is useless at air-to-air combat. Even 3rg gen MiG-21 can take F-117 out, if it can spot it. F-117 is built for deep penetration strike, not air-to-air

On the other hand F-22 can beat any plane in air-to-air, and also perform strike missions better than F-117, and has a lower RCS.

F-117 Nighthawk served it time well during the nineties but indeed except for stealth caracteristics its a disaster.

It lags speed, payload and all weather capability. It can only be operated during night, a true nighthawk.

 

[echo 1]

F/A-22 has many advantages over its the F-117 for instance the F-22 has capabilities of the F/A-18 meaning that it can do air to air and with a flick of a switch it can do air to ground unlike the F-117 which like SU-47 is more bomber oriented.
