As for thrust to weight? The F-15C can have 1.4 or so when it's fairly low on fuel ... the Streak had 1.6. The Strike already beats the C and matches the Streak's performance figures closely enough, IIRC.

The F-22 takes it all away again ... in other words ... you mis-calculated
Yea I guess you're right VHF radar coverage can be quite spotty and doesn't have enough paints enough per minute.
