Did A Philippine Air Force FA-50 "Kill" a Raptor?

It's all in the news and stuff.
   I don't know the story yet, but it's always the same thing when these stories come out. Basically: the exercise puts the planes at the merge, and they run the simulation a bunch of times, and once or twice somebody manages to get a shot off at an F-22 at just the right time.
   If that doesn't happen, the exercise probably wasn't set up that well.
   Nothing to see here, folks.
   Move along.
   Raptor pilots be like: "Awww, lookit...one of them little whatsis jets got one of us that time! That's a-dor-able,,,"

Update:
Alex Hollings confirms my suspicions, noting, inter alia, that the F-22 still has its drop tanks...:
