You ‘Really Oughta Go Home’: F-22 Stealth Fighter Flew Under F-4 From Iran
Story by Eli Fuhrman • Yesterday 9:05 AM
 
Drones are becoming an increasingly prominent part of modern military inventories, and are now used for both reconnaissance and strike missions.

Iran has been a frequent target for U.S. drone operations, and the use of unmanned platforms by both sides has been a point of contention between the two countries.

In 2019, for example, Iran shot down a U.S. surveillance drone that it claimed had flown into Iranian airspace.

 
That, however, was far from the first time that a U.S. drone had come under threat by Iran, and in 2013 Iranian fighter jets attempted to intercept a U.S. Air Force drone only to be surprised and turned away by a pair of F-22 Raptors.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
