Air Force: U.S. to Deploy F-22s to Europe amid Tensions with Russia 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Air Force officials say the United States will soon deploy F-22 fighter
jets to Europe, a move that military analysts see as a signal to Russia
amid growing tensions between the two countries. The F-22 fighter jet is
considered the most sophisticated plane in the world. The announcement
comes after the Pentagon said in June it was set to store heavy
weaponry, including tanks, in Eastern Europe for the first time since
the end of the Cold War.
