No its not. You think you can pickle off a missile in ONE FRAME? That's laughable. For one thing, the system has not acquired the Raptor. That's a problem. For another, it'll take almost half a second to actually input the fire command to the jet...pulling a trigger, whatever. In that half a second, the Raptor has moved over 500ft assuming he's moving around Mach 1...the F-22 pilot wants to engage at higher speeds, but this is a quick'n'dirty. Lets say the system takes only a half-second to actually acquire the Raptor...he's moved over 1000 feet LATERALLY across the Hornet's field of view. At the range we're seeing, he's out of the HUD already. No shot. That Hornet does not have the energy to maneuver hard enough to keep him in view...even if he did its doubtful he could've even rolled into the turn fast enough, since he's moving the OPPOSITE direction already.
So lets see...you think he can reverse his turn, get a lock, and fire off a missile in less than about 2 seconds?
