About 200 will be built, but they're not attached to their own squadrons. The plan was never to completely replace F-15s, rather it was to integrate F-22s into the existing structure. The production halt means now there will be about a 1:3 ratio of F-22s to F-15s in a squadron, rather than the originally planned 1:1 ratio.

I beg to differ those thrust vector on the back make it quite manuverable tho the are not as complex as the russian trust vectors on their sukoi fighter if im not mistaken. theirs are 6 axis while these are two.

Very capable, however much too expensive to manufacture and maintain.
