F-22 Raptor

The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, multirole stealth fighter aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force. It is designed for air superiority and includes advanced technologies such as supercruise capability (sustained supersonic flight without afterburners), advanced avionics, and stealth features that reduce its radar cross-section. The aircraft is equipped with both air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry, making it versatile in combat. The F-22 can operate in diverse environments and perform missions including air dominance, ground attack, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Its first flight took place in 1997, and it was officially introduced into service in 2005. The F-22 Raptor remains one of the most technologically advanced and effective fighter jets in the world.
