Chinese Flankers outgunned F-22s over Taiwan
Flight International reports that a RAND briefing in August showed that China could defeat America's F-22s by outnumbering them 72 to six.

In the Rand war game, China launches an air attack with 72 Su-27s into Taiwan. The U.S. Air Force send six F-22s to defend the island but with only 48 air-to-air missiles, the Chinese went on to outnumber the Raptors and shot down their refueling tankers.

With no fuel to land at a friendly base, the F-22s were considered lost.
