F-22 Raptor

Built specifically to take complete control of the sky, the F-22 was the world's first 5th-generation stealth fighter. It combines low radar visibility with insane agility, allowing it to lock onto enemy targets before they even know it's in the area. Because of its sensitive stealth technology, U.S. law bans the F-22 from ever being sold to foreign allies.
