Historical Information and Usage

The F-22 Raptor is an advanced fifth-generation air superiority fighter aircraft produced by the American company Lockheed Martin, and used by the United States Air Force. Its entry into service in 2005 ushered in a new era of stealth technology and combat capabilities, and the F-22 remains the backbone of US air defense to this day. The operational period of this fighter jet falls within the modern era. For long-range missions, the F-22 may use external fuel tanks, which can be jettisoned after being emptied to minimize the aircraft’s radar signature and allow for rapid engagement in combat operations.
