No one will strike a country that has the ability to remove them from the map, thats what a Trident submarine can do and they are on deployment
As far as the F22, it was designed before the modern warfare tactics had changed. Personally I think they should improve on the warthog platform

the A10 is a bad ass little tank killer. My dad was in the USAF when they were first doing tests on it and told me about how when the .50 cal on the nose burped it cracked the air frame! Lots of re-engineering had to be done but I think it is one of the most effective fixed wing aircraft the US has
