Fire! The Newest Weapons Additions To The F-35 Are Pretty Incredible

The F-35 will again fire its 25mm gun and air-drop several new laser-guided-bombs to prepare stealth 5th-Gen fighter for future high tech warfare by improving precision-strike air attack, targeting and close-air-support.

The weapons, now in development for several years, will build upon the existing arsenal of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons now operating on the F-35. Current production F-35s are certified to carry Paveway IV, GBU-12 and GBU-49 laser guided-bombs, Schiff said.
