Aug. 7 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force this week concluded a test of tactics involving use of its highly classified RQ-170 surveillance drone with other stealth aircraft.
The exercise, held Aug. 4 to Aug. 6 at Nellis Air Base, Nev., also included an Air Force B-2 bomber and F-22 and F-15 fighter planes, as well as the U.S. Navy's E/A-18G Growler electronic warfare plane, according to officials.

The pairing of fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft with the drone was a simulation of electronic attack missions -- the use of electromagnetic energy to destroy enemy combat capability -- using the more advanced F-35, as anti-air defense cover.
