WOW! 32 now huh?
That is a significant number and I am sure it is relatively temporary.
That is basically 1/6th of the whole fleet!

With external fuel tanks for the long haul to DPRK.
This is an excellent photo to illustrate the similarities between the F-22 and the F-35, both featuring mass centralization which promotes very quick changes in direction the airfoils and stabilator exerting tremendous pressure outboard of the center of mass to promote rapid, pitch, roll, and yaw changes. While there are some technically cosmetic differences, the real deal is the same or very similar!

I was going to say the same exact thing! there are only about 180 (+/-) operational (flyable) F22s in the entire inventory. Of those only about 120 ++ are combat coded.
If these 32 are combat coded ones it means more than 1/4 of all USAF's F22s are in Japan!
