Putin watches as U.S F-22 Raptor fighters within 'striking distance' from Russia

The 5th-gen F-22 Raptor stealth jets are now within 'striking distance' from Russia. The cutting-edge fighters are now deployed to the tactical air base in Łask, Poland. Poland shares a land border with Russian exclave of Kaliningrad (4 crossing points). Formidable Russian presence in Kaliningrad - nukes, Baltic fleet & 1000s of soldiers. The U.S F-22 boasts of lethal long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry. Eye on Putin, NATO air shielding provides a shield from the Baltic to the Black Seas.
