The U.S. Air Force may soon rely solely on the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor for air superiority, as the Boeing F-15C Eagle faces retirement. However, with approximately 186 surviving Raptors in its inventory, only 123 are combat-ready; the remaining 20 serve as backup aircraft. Additionally, some of these aircraft undergo long-term repairs following accidents, further limiting their availability for deployment. Despite being the best air superiority fighter built to date, the Raptor's limited quantity raises concerns about the Air Force's readiness.
