F-22 Raptors from Tyndall Air Force Base took part in airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq late last month, and while en route, refueled in midair above the Persian Gulf in this video captured aboard a U.S. Air Force KC-135.
The video spotted by The Aviationist shows stealth fighters deployed to destroy an improvised explosive device factory on Jan. 30. According to the report, Raptors are now a standard participant in coalition airstrikes, where they use some of the most-advanced sensors in the air to gather intel, act as escorts to more vulnerable aircraft and execute strikes of their own.
