So they could send a F22 to save a drone, but nothing to save an Ambassador.

Boy, that Ambassador must have had a heavy negative value...

“‘you really ought to go home.’”

I bet that piolet made a few little muhammads in his flight suit.

Calling BS in a way.

WHY would a *single* ship flight be on CAP or be dispatched ALONE to a potential air combat encounter.

Story smells.

**NOW** I will read the article ;-)

The F22 is a big question mark. It’s probably best it stay that way. No need to show anyone anything. Keep them guessing.

..of a lone F-22 Raptor.

What, no wing man!? When did the Air Force or Navy start doing that?

5.56mm

Now wait just a minute. We send in a drone to keep a human safe but when it gets into a fight, we send in the humans to save it. Common sense out the window.

The F22 flew under the Iranians without them knowing, checked their weapons, then came up on their left wing and told them to get lost. LOL, I’d like to have seen their faces.

"This is the guy that warned them off," he said. "He flew under their aircraft to check out their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go home.'"

hilarious

would definitely love to hear the other side of this story
