Fictional History
Ice Station
During an incident in which multiple forces clashed at Wilkes Ice Station for possession of an apparent alien spacecraft, the Intelligence Convergence Group dispatched a squadron of six F-22s under the command of Captain John Yates to provide aerial support to the other units they had in the area.
Yates and his squadron in their F-22s patrolled the air space around Wilkes until they spotted a rogue British fighter, which they quickly took down, but not before it fired a nuclear missile at Wilkes.
Shortly after Wilkes was destroyed, Yates intercepted Shane Schofield's attempt to contact the USS Wasp to request a landing for the experimental plane he was piloting. Despite Yates' relaying his orders to have Schofield escorted to a Navy aircraft carrier instead, Schofield realised that he was ICG and refused, forcing Yates to resort to plan b - have the F-22s open fire and destroy him.
Luckily for Schofield, his aircraft had an experimental cloaking technology that hid him from view, both visually and on radar, to the F-22 pilots' collective surprise. As Schofield had the Silhouette engage the F-22s, the high-tech American fighters were outmatched by the invisible plane since they could not lock onto it with missiles, and all were quickly destroyed.
