U.S. F-22 fighter jets have been deployed to the Middle East to counter an increase in "unsafe and unprofessional behavior" by Russia in the region, the military said Wednesday.
The Raptor fighter jets of Virginia's 94th Fighter Squadron were deployed from Langley Air Force Base to the Middle East to demonstrate the United States' ability to "re-posture forces and deliver overwhelming power at a moment's notice," U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Russia over Moscow's war in Ukraine and follows several instances of near conflict erupting between the countries in the skies over Syria.

We are at plus 20 years of the thug US globalist policeman’s “safe and professional” mayhem in the ME.
How ‘bout a little of that “posture” down along the Rio Grande where the invasion of America is really occurring, Slick?
Get 'em while supplies are limited. Order yours now!
We don't make these anymore and F-35s aren't ready for prime time , so if we lose a few to AA then that's it. We have nothing left of Taiwan. But whatever. biden is destroying America anyway.
“Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich told NBC News that Russian jets have violated the airspace of At Tanf Garrison roughly 25 times this month”
I’m trying to figure out the logic here, considering that Tanf Garrison is INSIDE of Syria, and the US military is there WITHOUT permission.
But the Neocons have me stumped on this one.
A look at the US military mission in Syria and its dangers
We’re in Syria because Assad/Putin allow ISIS and Iran to operate in eastern and southern Syria in support of attacks into Iraq and Jordan.
But you know that already being a supporter of KGB operations.
Maybe we don’t like Al Asad air base in Iraq being attacked by Iranians operating out of Syria.
Of course you prefer the foreign policy of the KGB’s Assad, Iran and Putin to the US when nearly all the troubles in the region stem from these nefarious entities and their proxies. Don’t pretend to care about peace when you don’t care about US-enforced peace. You want to see KGB “peace” of car bombs and dead civilians from Kiev to Baghdad so of course you support (KGB) Russia and its proxies Syria, Iran and their affiliated terrorist groups against the US.
You are a pro-terrorist, pro-KGB anti-American troll who only posts on this forum to criticize US actions while defending KGB Putin’s terrorism, destruction and territory grabbing wherever he can reach.
“We’re in Syria because Assad/Putin allow ISIS and Iran to operate in eastern and southern Syria in support of attacks into Iraq and Jordan.”
So, Damascus (Kiev) has NO SAY as to what countries can set up bases and do military operations in its country. Sounds like an EXCELLENT justification for Putin being in Ukraine.
Putin, no doubt, will appreciate your defense of his military operation in Ukraine.
“You are a pro-terrorist, pro-KGB anti-American troll”
Please refrain from PERSONAL ATTACKS on this forum, as it violates the rules that JR has set.
Just can’t believe it alone can you. They are picking a fight.
Ever think that the will just ram it with a crappy old jet to get the wreckage?
Am I the only person that thinks this way? Not sure this is a smart move on the part of the US.
Oh grate - just rise the temperature even more! Like this wasn’t planned long ago - just a matter of time.
“...near conflict erupting between the countries in the skies over Syria”
Ukraine is in Syria now?
To think Trump pretty much had the Middle East in check after kicking ISIS butt.
94th Fighter Squadron dates back to WWI and “Captain Eddie” Rickenbacker. A memorable ‘50’s childhood day was going to the Smithsonian to specifically see his SPAD.
This means the USAF thinks the area is safe for the F-22. They would never fly it in harm’s way. The USAF is scared witless that all that trillion dollar tech is not what they told the taxpayers it was.
The only safe place would be Israel, but I doubt Biden would swallow his pride an admit that.
Probably Turkey or Saudi.
