TIL in 2013 two Iranian F-4 Phantoms attempted to intercept a drone escorted by two F-22 Raptors. Due to having a bumblebee-sized radar cross-section, an F-22 was able to fly underneath an F-4 to see its weapons without it noticing then flew next to the F-4 and radioed "you really ought to go home."
