16:00 Another reason for using F/A-117 instead of F-22 comes down to the fact they are expendable. Russia already has Night Hawk wreckage. Better to lose a Night Hawk than a Raptor with cutting-edge tech. Also, flying and maintaining F-22s are expensive. Raptors have a special radar-absorbing coat of paint that must be reapplied after so many flight hours. It's the reason Raptor pilots mostly train in other aircraft. An unwise condition IMHO... You always want to train with the gear you're going into combat with.
