(Worthy News) – The Pentagon will send F-22 Raptor fighter jets to the Middle East in direct response to increasingly “unsafe” behavior by Russian aircraft in the skies over Syria, U.S. officials said Wednesday, marking the latest escalation of tensions between the nations.

U.S. Central Command said in a statement that the F-22 deployment will demonstrate clear American air superiority in the region. The move comes amid reports of increasingly aggressive actions by Russian planes, described by one American military official as an attempt by the Russians to “dogfight” U.S. jets over Syria.

The U.S. has roughly 1,000 troops in Syria. Their official mission is to battle the remnants of the Islamic State terror group, but those American forces have increasingly found themselves in conflict with Iran-backed militias and in dangerous encounters with Russian personnel.
