    The image shows a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet flying in close proximity to a Russian Tu-95 'Bear' strategic bomber. The Russian aircraft is identifiable by its white paint scheme and red star insignia on the tail fin. This appears to be an intercept or escort mission, a common occurrence when Russian military aircraft approach U.S. or allied airspace.
