Air Force Enhances Raptors

The U.S. Air Force advances F-22 Raptor capabilities with stealthy underwing fuel tanks as part of the Raptor 2.0 upgrade.
These upgrades support Operation Epic Fury against Iran, where F-22s have been deployed to dismantle Iranian air defenses, without the need to jettison in combat.
Recent images show upgraded Raptors testing over the Mojave Desert.
The development signals a more aggressive U.S. posture in the region, including collaboration with Israel.
