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.”

The F-22 is limited to the 500- and 1,000-pound JDAMs and the Small Diameter Bomb in the ground attack regime. Though there have been times the F-22 community has expressed a desire to add other types of munitions to the portfolio, “we realize there’re many other platforms, like fourth gen platforms or bombers, that are carrying these very specific weapons” and “so long as they’re doing it,” the F-22 fleet doesn’t necessarily need to replicate that capability, Anhalt said.
This 'stealthy' air-air platform is doing so well at air-ground actions that its pilots wanted to do more and better. What could the F-35 do once its features are finalized ?

Yes, hopefully their priority to get their so called fifth generation fighter jet working as they claimed.
