Why Stealth F-22 Raptors And F-15 eagles Are Training In Alaska? The F-15s assigned to the 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno, California, trained with F-22 Raptors from the 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, as part of the Alaska Dissimilar Aircraft Combat Training exercise from April 11 through 28. According to recent reports, the military exercise in Alaska had two main objectives. First, the Air Force aimed to free up more F-22 fighter planes, ready to be deployed to the Pacific, and secondly, to detect, identify, and engage with any possible threats to the United States. The F-22s have a high demand for their presence in the Pacific Theater and Europe, but the presence of F-15 fighter jets was essential for their mission in Alaska and that U.S. forces are preparing to protect the northern border of the U.S and the North Pole from “threats that may encroach upon U.S. airspace, said Air force lieutenant Col. John Vanbragt. The recent threats from the Kremlin over NATO’s continued supply of arms to Ukraine, the exercise may also provide the Air Force with an opportunity to prepare for the possibility of direct military conflict with Russia.
