Herkman, for me you got the point in 1. Yes a multi Million jet can be shot down by a "trainer" or much less capable aircraft. Especially if the F22 pilot doesn't know the threat is there. I've controlled many engagements and been to the debrief where the current "Top Jet" has been killed by a much less capable jet. Including an F15C in Alaska by an A10, also F15C's in UK by Hawks and an F3 with a U/S radar.
