F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter Armada deployed to a base near Iran

Hi.

Okay I searched but couldn't find this I must be missing something.....




www.wired.com...

So it's getting close is it?

I think it's time to start stocking up on supplies!!!!

I saw the story posted right after I posted this one.......sorry.

"Armada"?

The US has around 80 F22... its not like they'll take over the world with 80 craptors...

Am i the only one who noticed..... the irony of the quote:

"People take notice when you deploy America's foremost stealth fighter jet in your backyard"

What was the very next sentence..... "DOH!" ??

A show of force with a plane that's supposed to be invis...

the stealth drone was supposed to be invisible too, look how that turned out.

at $400 million a pop, i can see why they only sent 6.

and after the first one is lost to an "accidental crash", you'll see all of them mothballed.

I hope they have good cameras for more war gore. The footage of multmillion dollar aircraft shooting at bicycles or teenagers in bushes is so unbelievable. I kinda feel sad for pilots that have nobody to dogfight with. These guys go in after the drones. I bet a few of these ARE drones. Pilot stays at home.

I don't think the Drone was capable of flying at 1,300 MPH while carrying one of the most advanced weapon systems on Earth.

just sayin

And it is not likely they sent an "armada" of them. Probably a squadron of about twelve.

near invisible to radar... and it will be difficult to spot by eye at altitude, it has BVR missiles which are i believe fire and forget. so basically its meant to approach enemies without being noticed, fire and be out before the bogey realise what shot at them.

unless it has an invisibility cloak you can see any aircraft that is low to the ground. even the famed B-2.

just suggesting that when it wants to be seen it will have a purpose.

Yes, US$66.7 billion that could have been spent on something much more worth while like helping other people or even God forbid, their own citizens.
