exhelodrv,

Obviously the fighters would have certain strike packages, mostly air superiorty, only one would require the bunker buster to shut down the tunnel. Why would you assume they’d all be carrying such ordance? F-22 radar signature has been compared to… the size of a bee? Given the beyond the horizon ability of the F-22 to engage targets, the Russian sukois and migs wouldn’t stand a chance.

As for bases in Iraq, fighters take off and land all the time, are they fighting insurgents or downing russian migs, who knows….. Russians tracking where they are coming or going, yeah, they’re coming from the South, what is that going to prove? I have no confidence in Russian made radar or air defense. Look to Gulf War I, OIF, and the recent Israeli air strikes in Syria. Its only what you can prove not what you can claim. Without a wrecked F-22, its just Russian propaganda.
