The US Air Force on Sunday released a rare video documenting joint air exercises with the Israeli Air Force, in which Israeli F-16, F-15 and F-35 fighter jets participated, along with US F-22 fighter jets, which are among the most advanced and efficient fighter aircraft in the world.
The United States reserves this model of aircraft for its air force and does not allow any foreign air force to be supplied with it.
The joint military exercises took place over Israeli airspace less than two months ago, following a ceasefire agreement between the United States, Israel, and Iran. According to the Palestinian news agency Ma'an, F-22 fighter jets arrived in Israel as part of the US military's preparations for a potential attack on Iran.
The US Air Force releases rare footage of joint training exercises with Israel involving F-22 fighter jets.
The F-22 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet designed primarily for air superiority, and it also has capabilities for ground attacks, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance operations.
The American fighter jet had appeared in Israel during a joint Israeli-American air show in honor of outgoing Israeli Air Force commander, Major General Tomer Bar, as the F-22 fighter jet flew alongside F-35 and F-15 aircraft over the military parade ground at Tel Nof Air Base.
The US Air Force explained that the photos published today were taken from inside the “Shimshon” transport plane, where the photographer documented the fighter jets’ training from the plane’s rear ramp.
