Roy,
“Each F-22 carries 6 AIM-120C’s and 4 AIM-9 Sidewinders. Flight of 4 can splash 40 interceptors.”

You think that an F-22 would get a 1 for 1 ratio with it’s missiles? No way!!

And there will be warning. Maybe not a lot, but the Russians will be watching, and waiting, for this. F-22s are not invisible.

They can’t get 40 fighters there within 2 hours? Look at the map. That’s a 1000 mile radius. For an operation that they obviously had been planning for.
