The F-22 Super Raptor REVEALED | The $9B Upgrade That Terrified China in 2026

The F-22 Raptor just got a $9 billion rebirth. New IRST “Fangs,” stealth fuel tanks, and AIM-260 missiles that outrange China’s PL-15. This is the Super Raptor – and it will dominate the skies until 2060. Full 34‑minute documentary inside. In February 2026, Lockheed Martin unveiled the most radical upgrade in F-22 history at the AFA Warfare Symposium. The “Super Raptor” or “Raptor 2.0” isn’t a new aircraft, it’s a transformation of the existing 187‑jet fleet into something far more lethal. With a price tag of nearly $9 billion, the upgrade addresses the F-22’s two fatal flaws: range and stealth‑on‑stealth detection. In this 34‑minute Jetgine documentary, we break down every aspect of the Super Raptor: 🛡️ Why now? – The Pacific problem and China’s 300 J-20s 👁️ IRST “Fangs” – Passive infrared hunting, the game‑changer ⛽ Stealth fuel tanks – 500‑700 nautical miles added without compromising stealth 💥 AIM‑260 JATM – The missile that outranges the PL‑15 🔧 RAMP – Fixing the 40% mission‑capable rate with new coatings & diagnostics 🤝 F-22 & F-35 integration – Finally, they can talk 🎯 J-20 & Su-57 matchup – Why the Super Raptor wins 🚀 F-47 NGAD – Teammate or rival? 🕒 2060 horizon – How the Raptor will last four more decades China built 300 J‑20s specifically to exploit the F‑22’s weaknesses. Russia designed the Su‑57 to ambush it at visual range. After this upgrade, those weaknesses are gone. This is the future of aerial combat. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly fighter jet documentaries.    / @jetgineyt   Jetgine - Exploring the Machines That Shape Our World. 👉 If you're fascinated by real hardcore modern fighter jets and the machines that shaped our world, *SUBSCRIBE* and hit the bell 🔔 for more content that moving at Mach speed! 📢 **Follow for daily aviation secrets: https://x.com/Jetgine ▶ *EXPLORE PLAYLISTS:* ▶ Playlist: ULTIMATE FIGHTER JET DOCUMENTARIES •    • ULTIMATE FIGHTER JET DOCUMENTARIES   The F-22 Raptor 2.0 REVEALED 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 – The Viral Reveal of Raptor 2.0 (AFA 2026) 2:30 – Why Upgrade the F-22 Now?
