On F-22's operating over Syria:
Russian and Syrian pilots are “interested” in the F-22, and may have tried maneuvering close by to see how the jet operates, but “because of our sophisticated avionics and … stealth and … supercruise and maneuverability,” there’s “not a time where we allow Syrians or Russians to see us or influence us in any way without us choosing for them to do that,” Anhalt explained. He said there were “some incidents … early on” in which F-22s had to steer coalition air packages away from the Syrian or Russian jets and “we were very close to them and they never realized it.”
