A U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor aircraft assigned to the 3rd Wing takes off during a routine training sortie at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Feb. 20, 2026. As a premier fifth-generation stealth asset, the F-22’s low-observable technology allows it to patrol the Arctic skies undetected, providing superior strike capability against potential threats to the Arctic region.
