The ONLY reason the F22 is getting iced is because the JSF is cheaper. Nothing more, nothing less.
Dogfighting is NOT obsolete. In the world of stealth, AAMs and AMRAAMs will be harder to use. Dogfights will always be a necessary evil. To not train and develop for this is suicide. Dogfighting will never be obsolete, only the tactics used will change with the technology. Look at WWII fighters. Then Compare them to WWI dogfighting. Then Compare THAT to Vietnam/Korea. Then compare that to the engagements involving Israel and the F16.
With each new technological breakthrough, dogfighting EVOLVED, but never, and I mean NEVER will it become obsolete.
