Russian defense officials are quoted in the article as claiming that the TU-95 flew 'unobserved' for a considerable part of its mission. I presume this means that they weren't 'painted' by a tracking radar. OTOH, there's no way they could know whether an F22 was lurking -- and they do have some Raptors up at Elmendorf.
