The U.S. Air Force says it will be sending 25 of its combat-coded F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to Guam later this month as part of the Pacific Iron 2021 exercise. While it may not look like a large number, viewers may note that currently out of a total of 187 F 22s, only 125 are assigned to combat-coded units while others are allocated to various training, test and evaluation duties. The idea is to demonstrate the U.S Air Force' s "strategic flexibility" in deploying significant numbers of combat aircraft to conduct operations from forward locations in the region. U.S Air Force General Ken Wilsbach, head of Pacific Air Forces, told CNN, "We have never had this many Raptors deployed together in the Pacific Air Forces area of operations" In this video, Defense Updates analyses why the U.S Air Force sending 20% of its combat coded F 22 Raptors to Guam is a message China can't ignore? .
