F-22 and F-35 Jets Escort Putin's Plane on Return Flight From Alaska to Moscow After Meeting With Trump

Following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska, American fighter jets escorted Putin's plane on its return flight to Moscow. The Kremlin stated that F-22 fighter jets accompanied the Russian president's aircraft from Alaska to Russia. However, some reports indicated that F-35 jets were involved in the escort. The presence of these advanced U.S. fighter jets, including the F-22 and possibly the F-35, marked a notable security detail during the flight. This escort was observed as a significant demonstration given the F-22's status as America's most capable fighter jet, typically shielded from public view.
