THE MYSTERY OF THE F-22S SCRAMBLED IN HAWAII HAS BEEN SOLVED
 

Two F-22 Raptors were scrambled from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii on Sunday at about 4:00 p.m. local time. A third F-22 joined them about an hour later along with a KC-135 refueling tanker. 

This scramble, described as an "irregular patrol,” was initiated at the request of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which reported an "incident.” That terse message immediately got the attention of the news media. The Air Force would only say that it was responding to a request from the FAA and that it was not a training exercise. When peppered with requests for information by several media outlets, the FAA released only a short message when Public Affairs Spokesman Ian Gregor said only that "The FAA has a close working relationship with the military.”

Now it has been released that the stealth fighters were scrambled in response to a large Russian naval exercise conducted about 300 to 500 miles west of Hawaii. The exercise came just prior to President Biden’s first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Europe.
 

The Russian Navy exercise, which includes surface ships, anti-submarine aircraft, and long-range bombers is the largest Pacific Ocean exercise conducted since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Air Force scrambled the F-22s to monitor the situation. However, U.S. defense officials said the Russian bombers did not enter the Air Defense Identification Zone and were not intercepted.
 

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command released a short statement saying that the FAA  requested the command "conduct an irregular air patrol and the situation resolved, prompting the fighters and a KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft to return to base. We cannot discuss further specifics of the situation.”

The F-22 Raptor Guardians of Hawaii

The F-22 Raptors were part of the 199th Fighter Squadron which is a unit of the 154th Wing under the Hawaii Air National Guard. The 199th Fighter Squadron is a reverse associate to the active duty 19th Fighter Squadron. 
 

"Together [the squadrons] form the ‘Hawaiian Raptors’ which jointly operate the F-22 Raptor, the Air Force’s 5th generation fighter aircraft. Its combination of stealth, supercruise, maneuverability, and integrated avionics, coupled with improved supportability, represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities. The Raptor performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions allowing full realization of operational concepts vital to the 21st-century Air Force.”

The F-22 Raptor replaced the F-15C Fighting Eagle in the squadrons in 2010. 

The US Moves its Own Exercise in Response to Russia

"At the same time, officials said a U.S., carrier strike group headed by the USS (Carl) Vinson is operating about 200 miles east of Hawaii, conducting a strike group certification exercise,” CBS News reported. "The exercise had been planned but was moved closer to Hawaii in response to the Russian exercise.”

"U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is monitoring the Russian vessels operating in international waters in the Western Pacific,” said Navy Captain Mike Kafka, a spokesman for the command based in Oahu, in an emailed statement. "As part of our normal daily operations, we closely track all vessels in the Indo-Pacific area of operations through maritime patrol aircraft, surface ships, and joint capabilities.”

"We operate in accordance with international law of the sea and in the air to ensure that all nations can do the same without fear or contest and in order to secure a free and open Indo-Pacific. As Russia operates within the region, it is expected to do so in accordance with international law,” Kafka added.

If you post something from Newsmax you're a dope.

Let me guess.  Dong Jinwei defected to the U.S. with the contents of Hunter’s laptop and is  now being held in a secret underground prison.

Lol. Newsmax. Even for this forum these are pretty low standards.

Taiwan lashes out at Beijing after Chinese President Xi Jinping pledges 'complete reunification' 

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday pledged a "complete reunification" with Taiwan — drawing a strong rebuke from the democratic, self-ruled island, which criticized the Chinese Communist Party's "dictatorship."

Taiwan and mainland China are separated by the Taiwan Strait, which is only about 100 miles wide (160 km) at its narrowest point. The ruling Chinese Communist Party in Beijing has never controlled Taiwan, but it claims the island is a runaway province that must one day be reunited with the mainland — by force if necessary.

In a speech to mark the CCP's 100th year, Xi called "reunification" with Taiwan an "unswerving historical mission" of the party and a "common aspiration" of the Chinese people. The audience erupted in applause in response

An American citizen is among the six people detained in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, Haitian officials said Thursday, adding to their assertions that "foreigners” had been involved in the brazen attack.

The American suspect is of Haitian descent and has been identified as James Solages, Haiti’s minister of elections, Mathias Pierre, said by telephone from Port-au-Prince. Two other Haitian officials also identified Mr. Solages as the American suspect in custody, describing him as a resident of South Florida who had been apprehended on Wednesday during the manhunt for the assailants.

lol that's weird. I thought I was quoting somebody else but it's been 3 weeks so I don't remember. I don't even think it was in this thread, it was the Jan 6 thread where somebody posted something to the effect of "who's talking about the FBI being involved in Jan 6?" and I was replying that it was now a narrative being pushed that not only were there FBI agents there, but they were organizing THE WHOLE THING

dangers of posting before my 4th cup of coffee.
