It was in the news that F22s are the ones flying cover for the SOFs on the ground. So knocking them out of the air might not be that easy to do, and any Russian or Syrian aircraft that attempts it, is as good as dead. Russia’s newest SAMs may not even be that effective against the F22.
The F22’s are not very stealthy against the S-400.
Some experts fear that our B2 stealth bombers are also at risk from that system.
We may be unlucky enough to have all this tested very soon :-/
The scary thing is if Putin discovered he can’t take out US air power with the S-400 he will just strike our carriers and bases.
We are the bad guys here :-( I really, really hate being the bad guys who are protecting mindless jihadis and the Muslim Brotherhood types.
Beam me up!
