How to kill F-22

Pilots become skilled through training, and Raptor pilots don't get enough training hours because of aircraft maintenance problems.

It doesn't anymore.the problem has been solved.

Didn't they find out it wasn't actually the F22 but instead a combination of flight gear worn by the pilots that caused hypoxia in certain situations?

The Americans have the best technology. The rest of the world is not even aware what the US has at present, forget what is under development.

Yes and it was not a normal case.Pilots from only two bases(Alaska and Virginia...due to the cold) had the problem when they were making sharp turns and performing high-g maneuvers.They need to breathe heavily when they turn.But in cold weather areas pilots wear a rubber suit to save them incase they eject in cold atmosphere and had to dive into cold water.This suit in combination with the inflatable pressure vest worn by pilots restricted their lungs.So they could not take in necessary oxygen during high-g maneuvers and had hypoxic attacks.

The French ‘Shot Down’ U.S. Stealth Fighter — War Is Boring — Medium

The French ‘Shot Down’ U.S. Stealth Fighter

Lockheed Martin-made F-22 is supposed to be the most fearsome warplane in history, a quarter-billion-dollar-per-plane technological marvel that flies higher and faster than its opponents while avoiding detection by radar. The Pentagon is counting on a tiny number of the pricey Raptors — slightly more than 180 — to ward off potentially much larger numbers of enemy planes for the foreseeable future. Every mock dogfight the F-22 loses undermines the Pentagon’s plans for air dominance.

a video posted by a French Website on June 18 proves that the Americans were lying — or at least incorrect. The video from the Rafale’s camera clearly shows the French plane maneuvering into a good position to launch an infrared-guided Mica missile against a defending F-22.

and india is going to get 126 of these french planes

What about making decoy bombing targets to lure the F 22 in...and then lighting that place up with everything you have when it comes in for the bomb run. We all know that the Americans aren't the best in the game when it comes to intelligence gathering...so set up some realistic decoys beforehand.

Or arrange for a Fort Hood incident (you know what I mean )to happen to the airbases from where the F 22 flies.

You do realise the only reason they were able to get close the f22 was because it had a radar enhancer and was not taking bvr shots? In real combat, first they would need to detect the raptor. Best of luck with that!

Also please keep in mind that the F-15, nearly 30 years old and still in service, has chalked up over a 100 kills with zero losses, and the F-22 is leaps ahead of the F-15.

Yeah...its kind of growing up thing with people, let's be-rate planes designed by an air-force which has the most war experience with the rest of the world combined. Not to mention the fact, that they are pitching their latest fighter against one in service with the USAF's 1990s technology. That should tell them something, if they had brains. All I wish, is we never meet it in real combat.

strongest air force -> USAF
2nd strongest air force -> US Navy

Even now, I believe that the F-15 can still dominate the skies. Sukhois will be smitten in any air combat with the Eagles.
