The F-35 in Stealth Fighter SHOWDOWN between Russia & America | Daily Dose of Aviation - FlyBeatNews

Welcome to your Daily Dose of Aviation! Today we're looking at the showdown between Russia and the United States of America's Air Force in the Northern frontiers of Alaska. In the biting cold, the US Air Force is training to counter the Russian fighters and bombers stationed on the other side of the Bering Strait. The cold environment creates a multitude of challenges for the USAF's latest fighter aircraft. While the F-35 is the only 5th Generation aircraft to take to the arctic skies, the recent tensions between NATO and the Russian military means the pilots and ground crew need to get things right. Thanks to both new technology and excellent training, the United States of America's Air Force is mounting a formidable defense in the Arctic, stationing two squadrons of F-35 A Lightnings and two squadrons of F-22 Raptors. The Russians on their side, have Su-35s and the Tu-95 bombers, both of which have longer ranges than the latest US fighter aircraft.
