How many bombs can a fighter jet carry?
The Joint Strike Fighter can carry eight StormBreaker weapons internally and eight externally, on the wings. Paired with the F-35’s sensors, it will enable the aircraft to hit moving targets in adverse weather.
What is the most advanced commercial airplane?

How long did it take to develop the F 35?
Why GAO Did This Study The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program began development in 2001 and remains DOD’s most expensive weapon system program. Currently, the program is more than 8 years delayed and $165 billion over original cost expectations.
What kind of radar does the F-15 have?
For multirole aircraft such as the F-15E, F-16E/F and F/A-18E/F/G, the AESA radar can act both as an electronic attack weapon and an electronic counter-counter measure. The power and agility of the AESA’s beams can be used as a weapon, jamming or even frying out enemy radars.
Which aircraft use AESA radar?
Now the advanced version AESA radar is being used on fighter aircraft, such as F-22, F-35, Rafale, to name a few, where the radar frequency operates in a wide band signal.
Is F-35 more vulnerable to detection than F-22 Raptor?
But due to software issue with F-35 radar, the aircraft is accused of being more vulnerable to detection than earlier stealth aircraft, such as the F-22 Raptor, due to its more conventional airplane shape. When compared with Raptor, F-35 lacks a radar-shunting curve which is required to help mask it from enemy radar at all angles.
What is low intercept rate AESA?
Low Interception. AESA systems also have a low probability of intercept by an enemy radar warning receiver (RWR). An RWR allows an aircraft or vehicle to determine when a radar beam from an outside source has struck it. In doing so, it can also determine the beam’s point of origin, and thus, the enemy’s position.
