Which aircraft is the F-22A Raptor?

Identifying the aircraft by its designation is what this item tests. The F-22A Raptor is a fifth‑generation, stealth air‑superiority fighter developed for the U.S. Air Force, with advanced sensors, stealth features, and internal weapon bays designed for dominant air combat. Among the options, only the F-22A Raptor refers to that specific aircraft. The other choices point to a different fighter (F-16), a satellite communications system (MUOS), and an aerial refueling tanker (KC-135). So the F-22A Raptor is the correct identification.
