The U.S. Air Force has a message for Iran: Don’t mess with our drones.
In what only can be described as a scene out of Tom Cruise’s "Top Gun,"
Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, Air Force chief of staff, describes how F-22
stealth jets scared off Iranian jets from a U.S. drone flying in
international airspace.
"He [the Raptor pilot] flew under their aircraft [the F-4s] to check out
their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled
up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go
home,’" Gen. Welsh said.
According to The Aviationist, the Iranians came within 16 miles of the
drone.
