HONOLULU, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- An undisclosed number of F-22 Raptors of the Hawaii Air National Guard and the U.S. Air Force have been deployed to the Middle East for as long as six months.
The Hawaii Air National Guard, or HIANG, said the deployment of most of the fighters and more than 200 personnel from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu took place Sept. 26 but was kept secret for security considerations.
The aircraft and personnel are now in an unidentified location in the region, which is in the area of responsibility of the U.S. Central Command.
"Because of security considerations and host nation sensitivities, the HIANG will not release the base nor country where the Raptors are operating from, nor will the HIANG release the number of F-22 fighters that are deployed," it said.

Dude, they are *all* ISIS inside Syria if they are fighting Assad.
There are no "moderate terrorists." There are no good guys there.
No they are not. There are ISIS forces (which by the way are packed full of "terrorists" from Soviet Republics who tend to be Russian agents) and there are non-ISIS forces. It's not true that there is only one group involved here.
LOL!
What are you smoking?!
Nothing as good as what you’re smoking!
When you sober up, let me know the USA’s vital interests in going to war inside Syria.
Seriously? I only told you twice already I have never said a word about “going to war inside Syria.” All I said was the obvious.
You must be hallucinating again. Wal-Mart pharmacy closed in your area?
About what? I already know you disagree on the ISIS-non-ISIS thing. But everything else should be pretty solid, unless you think ISIS has an air force or that there is no connection between Russian pattern of attacks and defense of the Assad regime.
Dude, there is no 3 way war in Syria. Sure, there are lots of tribes operating there, some opposed to Assad and some for Assad.
...but it is just a 2 way war. They either support Assad or else they support the terrorists/caliphate.
Stolen valor Mark? HUH? Pretty damn harsh to accuse another man of that without any proof. Darned if you didn’t get schooled, (or I believe the term you video game playing kiddies use is ‘owned’ right?), a bit huh? Let’s see: A REAL A-10 Warthog Fighter Pilot vrs. an Internet toughie/video game player? Yeah, that is a real contest. You might try a new video game......are the Frog thing or Donkey ones still around? So, sending some Internet 30MM love your way..............BBBBZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Land, rearm, take off and here is another BBBBZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT for ya! You are now completely disintegrated, atomized and vaporized into the funky Red Mist.
Nope and not a fighter pilot. Steal it bro
And to make sure they do not (if true)
The world's largest submarine, the Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208), equipped with 20 Bulava (NATO-code SS-N-30) intercontinental ballistic missiles with an estimated up to 200 nuclear warheads, is expected to reach Syrian shores during the week of Sept. 14, Israel-based DEBKAfile reported on Monday.http://www.todayszaman.com/diplomacy_going-ballistic-russia-sends-missiles-to-syria-report-claims_398892.html
Perhaps these are needed against the ISIS Air force.
“So when do you leave to go kill some Russians? Its easy to command shit around in front of your PC”
You mean like yourself....commanding shit around infront of a PC, simpleton? bahahaha.
Speaking of keyboard warriors...Like I said...you talk alot and say absolutley nothing. You are an ignorant one. The dumbass is strong in you....
“No you are not a fighter pilot(just an internet keyboard warrior, steal that glory bro) or you would know passive radar can still track a stealth aircraft and send queuing orders to SAMs. The only thing would be if it was jammed or taken out by a missile strike before a F-22 comes in. I like the F-22 I am one of its biggest cheerleaders, it however is not undetectable only under the right circumstance would it appear so. Yes it has many advantages over a fourth gen. fighter but the Russians are not idiots.
PS. Steal that glory, you are not a fighter pilot. So stop lying.
