September 23, 201412 yr Author Interesting morning ...The F-22 rumour.SyAAF Su-24 brought down by an Israeli Patriot (presumably PAC-2) after straying only 800 meters into Israeli airspace.47 Tomahawks fired into Syria from the USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea.Multi-national air strikes, including from Arab nation partners.
September 23, 201412 yr That is my idea of long time ago, from the start some F-22A were earmarked for silver bullet stealth strike the first hours of an all-out open war, as the F-22A was IOC in 2006 and the F-117A retired in 2008, very probably just when those F-22A strike capabilities were developed.
September 24, 201412 yr Author Looks like a pair of F-22s working this particular target. I am counting at least four bomb hits. Presumably 1,000 lb GBU-32(V)1/B JDAM. And those were some looooong TLAM shots from the USS Philippine Sea in the Arabian Gulf and the USS Arleigh Burke in the Red Sea.
