Americans send top secret fighter jet to Poland.
The US Air Force is sending an F-22 Raptor to Poland as part of support for NATO’s “air shield” mission. The goal, as reported by the media, is to deter potential Russian threats in Eastern Europe.
A total of six F-22 fighters from the 90th Fighter Squadron were recently moved from their home base of Elmendorf, Alaska to the British Royal Air Force Base in Lakenheath.
According to the official statement of the representatives of the command of the US Air Force in Europe and Africa, “six” will soon move to the 32nd tactical air base in Poland.
The decision to send the F-22 fighter jets is very important because it is the most dangerous fighter jet in the world, which the Pentagon considers a strategic resource. It is an invisible plane equipped with the most modern technologies, which is forbidden to export and which until now was exclusively responsible for the protection of the American territory.
“The Raptor is a critical component of a global strike task force designed to project air superiority, quickly and at long range, to defeat threats standing in the way of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps,” the statement said. “It cannot be outmatched by any known or planned combat aircraft, making it a very strategic platform to support NATO’s air defenses.”
The Raptor is the first fifth-generation aircraft to enter serial production, ordered exclusively for the needs of the US Air Force, which required an aircraft designed to achieve absolute air superiority.
The Raptor’s numerous combat capabilities are still kept a top secret, and pilots are prohibited from performing certain actions and maneuvers during public demonstrations, even during joint maneuvers with allies from other countries.
The deployment of the US Air Force’s most valuable weapon to Poland is the result of a plan to bolster European defenses agreed by NATO leaders at the Madrid summit, as part of which the alliance hopes to deter Russian aggression across its borders. of NATO increasing its forces in Eastern Europe.
