3rd Wing’s F-22s take off from Eielson for Polar Force 22-4
Four U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors assigned to the 3rd Wing, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, taxi on the runway at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, during Polar Force 22-4, March 31, 2022. The F-22 Raptor increases lethality against all advanced air threats by minimizing enemy capabilities to track and engage with the jet due to its stealth, integrated avionics and supercruise characteristics. The F-22’s characteristics provide synergistic effects, increasing lethality against all advanced air threats. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jose Miguel T. Tamondong)
