Two F-22 Raptors from the Virginia Air National Guard trained alongside Finnish F-35As at Ebbing Air National Guard Base.
More than a flight exercise, it strengthens Finland's growing F-35 capability, NATO interoperability, and long-term 🇫🇮🇺🇸 defence cooperation.

"The initial F-35 training in the U.S. is a key step in building Finland's F-35 capability."
The value goes beyond aircraft.
Pilots train together. Tactics are shared. Relationships are built.
Those connections will matter in Europe for years to come.

Analyst207F-22 Testbed 'Catfish' Spotted with New Infrared Sensor Pod
Meet the "Catfish," a one-of-a-kind Boeing 757 testbed that's been secretly pushing the boundaries of F-22 technology since the 1990s. Recently spotted with a sleek new infrared sensor pod, this modified marvel is still playing a vital role in advancing stealth capabilities.

🚨🇺🇸🇵🇭America's "Stealth Fighter" in the Philippines Is Already Obsolete The US Air Force recently deployed F-22 Raptors to Basa Air Base in the Philippines for Exercise Cope Thunder 26-1 — framing it as a show of force across the First Island Chain. In reality, it exposed how poorly the F-22 is suited for a Pacific conflict against China. 🔸The Range Problem The F-22's unrefueled combat radius is only ~460 nautical miles — less than half that of China's J-20. In a theatre where distances are vast and Chinese missiles can target forward airbases and tanker aircraft, aerial refueling in a contested battlespace is not a reliable option. The F-35A, by comparison, has a combat radius of ~760 nautical miles. 🔸Obsolete Avionics Its stealth features are less sophisticated than the F-35’s, and despite being larger, its combat range is less than half that of China’s J-20. This is a critical limitation in the Pacific, where operations require long distances and Chinese forces can threaten airbases and tanker aircraft, and critically — it has no IRST (Infrared Search and Track) system, which the J-20 carries as standard. Its avionics were already falling behind when it entered service in 2005. 🔸Zero Ground Attack Capability The F-22 carries air-to-air missiles only — no cruise missiles, no anti-ship weapons, no long-range strike capacity. This makes it the least versatile 21st-century fighter in any active fleet. Its absence during the US-led strikes on Iran further confirmed its irrelevance in high-intensity multi-domain operations 🔸Readiness Crisis Its operational readiness rate has fallen to just ~40%, with per-flight-hour costs hitting $85,000. The USAF itself plans to retire the F-22 around 2030 — before it completes even half its designed service life. Deploying F-22s to the Philippines may signal intent — but against China's growing J-20 fleet and A2/AD network, it signals little else. @NewRulesGeo❗Follow us on X
