U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors assigned to the 525th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, deployed from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, conduct basic fighter maneuvers (BFM) training at Tsuiki Air Base, Japan, Oct. 23, 2026, during Exercise Keen Sword 27 (KS27). The B-roll footage captures F-22 Raptors taking off and conducting flight operations in support of BFM training. These operations enhance tactical proficiency, combat readiness and the ability to execute air-to-air combat maneuvers in a dynamic training environment. KS27 is a routine, biennial bilateral field training exercise with multinational participation, designed to increase readiness and interoperability between the U.S. military and Japan Self-Defense Forces while strengthening the ironclad U.S.-Japan Alliance.
