F-22 Raptors Participate in Joint Drills

The newest U.S. stealth fighter, the F-22 Raptor, has been disclosed to the public.

The world's most advanced stealth fighter jets on Monday were shown at Osan Air Base in Gyeonggi Province. 

Commander of the U.S. 7th Air Force Jeffrey Remington told a news briefing that the employment of F-22 jets for the drills demonstrate Washington's strong commitment to deter and defeat any provocative acts that threaten the stability of the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia. 

F-22 jets equipped with an advanced radar can identify and detect objects sized one meter in diameter from a distance of up to 250 kilometers. 

Four F-22 Raptors flew over the Korean Peninsula on Monday for the first time.
