Splash another "object," and another "kill" for the F-22 (Thats three now… ).This time over Canada. I guess Canada asked for US assistance, probably because of the altitude. Hence the Raptor being used.

High-altitude object shot down over northern Canada, temporarily closing Montana airspace

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he ordered the takedown of "an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace." "Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," he tweeted. Canadian Forces will now recover and analyze the wreckage...

What kind of kill marking will be pictured in the sticker put on the F-22? What kind of "object" will he get credit for?

Plus we don't have any CF-18s within easy reach. CFB Cold Lake, where No. 401 and 409 Tactical Fighter Squadrons is a long flight to the Alaska/Yukon border.


I can just imagine the surprised RCAF ground crews, armourers and pilots at Cold Lake scrambling to find their kit and get rolling. I bet it's 30 mins from the scramble call to takeoff with long range tanks and AAMs. From there it's another 90-120 mins subsonic to get to the target.
