F-22A + F15E + F16C could make a pretty deadly combo.

You got the F-22 for air superiority, and air cover. Or use its stealth to strike russian fighters and bombers that are in russia.

The F-15E can be used for ground attack, or even close air support. It could also be used as backup for the F-16's if they get overwhelmed.

The F16C being a multi role fighter could do a lot of these things, not as well as their dedicated platforms but still preform well. Not to forget the F16 is superior in SEAD.

It's a fantasy for sure, as I can't imagine what kind of training/infrastructure the F-22 needs, even if the US gets over its fear one one being shot down and salvaged.

But yeah, gettin air superiority and making use of it would be incredible.
