The US Air Force submitted to Congress a report on the restart of production of F-22 stealth fighters June 20 it became known that the US Air Force submitted to Congress a report on the restart of the production of the fifth-generation F-22 Raptor fighter.

The Senate Committee of the US Congress on Armed Services received a report two days ago and is now under consideration. It is reported that last year studies were being conducted on how much the government could do to resume production of these fifth generation aircraft.

The main purpose of the F-22 aircraft is to gain air supremacy and fight against strategic bombers of a potential enemy. The military's interest in the possible restart of the production line of the F-22 aircraft is caused by the growing tension in relations with the Russian Federation and the growing power of the Chinese armed forces.

In 2009, Congress voted to end the production of the F-22 after the release of 187 fighters.
