Can the F-35 do electronic warfare?

The F-35 has the most advanced sensor suite of any fighter in history, including the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, Distributed Aperture System (DAS), Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS) and advanced electronic warfare capabilities to locate/track enemy forces, jam radars and disrupt attacks.

How many mavericks can an A10 carry?

The A-10 can carry up to ten Maverick air-to-surface missiles. The Raytheon Maverick AGM-65 missile uses a variety of guidance systems, including imaging infrared guidance and warheads, including a high-penetration, 57kg conical-shaped charge warhead. Range is more than 45km.

Can the F-35 jam?

NO. you do not jam a radar like that from a straight F35 you need to carry high power jamming pods. what the aircraft does though is to apply counter measures – this is not jamming .

Is the F-35 a fifth generation fighter?

One report says Lockheed Martin labelled the F-35 a “fifth-generation” fighter in 2005, borrowing the Russian term to describe the F-22 Raptor. Previously, and even up to 2009, the JSF was referred to as a new or next-generation aircraft. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

What is a fifth generation fighter jet?

The marketing argument is implicitly supported by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, who used a critical definition of fifth generation aircraft: Fighter jets that, according to manufacturers, incorporate the most modern technologies, such as stealth, advanced radar, and integrated avionics.

Is the F-22 Raptor stealthy?

All modern combat aircraft are designed with a low radar cross section in mind and for this reason competitors of the JSF describe their aircraft as stealthy but they are not as stealthy as the JSF. The F-22 Raptor is probably the only operational aircraft stealthier than the JSF.

What is the difference between JSF and stealth?

The JSF is less manoeuvrable than some fourth-generation aircraft, particularly the Russian Sukhoi fighters, but this deficiency is negated through stealth. What about stealth? Stealth allows a pilot to shoot at another aircraft without the enemy having the ability to shoot back because they cannot see them.
