USAF F-22 Raptors Deter Aggression in Baltic Skies

U.S. Air Force fifth-generation fighters supporting NATO Allied Air Command's Air Shielding mission along the Eastern Flank executed an Agile Combat Employment deployment to Ämari Air Base, Estonia, May 8, to deter aggression in the Baltic Sea region.

In early April, Joint Base Langley-Eustis' 94th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron deployed 12 F-22 Raptors to Poland's Powidz Air Base in support of the critical mission, which augments the alliance's Integrated Air and Missile Defense and Counter-Integrated Air Defense System capabilities to safeguard the nearly 1,500-mile-long border along NATO's Eastern Flank.
