How would they know?

I don’t think there has been any F-22s in range of their AWACS.

They don't need an F-22 to make the claim - they need to be able to detect a target the size of a bird at 200 kilometers - and today that's pretty close. This still would not do much to harm the Raptor. It would still be nearly impossible for fighters or AA missiles to see it. It's never been claimed (except by reporters) that the Raptor is invisible to radar - just that it is very hard to detect.

they know there is an F22 in the area because the other five AWACS in front of the one doing the detecting all blew up...
