On March 17, 2012, Iranian Su-25 planes chased an MQ-1 drone that was flying 16 miles from Iran. Su-25s failed to shoot the drone down. Another incident happened in 2013, but this time, Iran used air-to-air-capable F-4 Phantom II jets. But the MQ-1 this time had two F-22 Raptors as its escort! F-4 pilots didn't know about this asset escort. One F-22 Raptor got close to one of the F-4s and sneaked beneath it from behind. The pilot checked what missiles it was carrying, and then the pilot appeared from their left and said, "You really ought to go home!"
