Who do we know that has the properties that an FB-22 would attack?
That a Peacekeeper or Trident (if that's the latest nomenclature)
would not hit? The new dispensation seems to be reduction of the
"strategic" arms in favor of the theater or tactical arms. This seems
like a system looking for a target.
Next generation integrated mobile air defenses.
High level terrorists.
Mobile cruise missile launchers with WMD warheads.
The targets the Hustler II hunts are mobile, low profile and high
value. The FB-22's sensors (being the next step past the B-2, F-22
and F-35) are as important as its weapons.
These are things you can't spot from space and you can't wait for an
ICBM to get to the last known GPS grid, but you probably do not want
to start a nuclear war over.
