The American fighter of the new generation Fa-22 Raptor, prepared with the application of technology Stealt, suffered catastrophe during the test base flight of USAF - United States Air force Nellis (state of Nevada). For pilot it was possible to be catapulted. It is delivered into the hospital and, according to the physicians, it did not obtain any serious injuries. As the precautionary measure flights Fa-22 are completely ended in the entire country. The representative of air base could not report, when the flights of destroyers Raptor, each of which costs more than 130 million dollars, are renewed, ITAR- TASS reports. This was the first catastrophe of the multipurpose destroyer Fa-22 Raptor, in which was used the technology, which makes aircraft unobtrusive for RLS of enemy. Incident occurred at the extremely inappropriate moment, since program Fa-22 is located on the stage of the estimated tests, which must be completed by the transfer of aircraft to the acting subdivisions of USAF - United States Air force. Catastrophe occurred in the second-half of day on Monday (on Tuesday Moscow time), but it became known about it only now. The investigation of the reasons for incident at present is conducted.
