Additionally, the F-22 Raptor was described as unmatched, combining power, agility, and maneuverability, setting the benchmark for fifth-generation air dominance fighters. Previous reports confirm Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested on September 12th in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th in Orem, Utah. Authorities have not yet revealed Robinson's motive, though some online discourse suggests Kirk was disliked by various groups. Robinson's father reportedly detained him until police arrived.

President Donald Trump had previously announced the suspect's apprehension and noted Utah's governor's intent to pursue the death penalty. Bill Ackman had previously increased the reward for information leading to an arrest by $1 million.
