Simple bullshit propaganda for RT, the Russian government's mouthpiece. Why would a US jet want to stop someone from bombing ISIS? Makes no sense. The reality is a Russian net can't track the F-22 even if it wanted to shoot it. It would also lose badly in a turning dog fight. This is obviously for domestic consumption. They need their people to think they are a match for the US and their is an existing US threat. Otherwise they would have to sell that the lack of democracy, a class of Russian were ripping off the country at their expense, dismal economic situation/out look, and the reality that their significance on the international scene had long since past them by was a good thing for the average Russian. Dream on!
