History:

The Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor entered USAF service in 2005 as the first operational fifth-generation fighter. Designed for unmatched air superiority, the Raptor combines stealth technology, supercruise capability, advanced avionics, and extreme manoeuvrability. Though primarily intended as a fighter, the F-22A also carries precision-guided munitions for ground attack missions. Despite a limited production run, it remains one of the most capable aircraft in the world, with no equal in air-to-air combat. The Raptor has seen operational deployment in various theatres, demonstrating its dominance in both deterrence and active operations, and continues to be a vital component of US air power.
