Default F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

I think that they are planning on using the new small diameter bombs for
ground support. Certainly no plane can carry that massive GAU8 rotary
cannon. But with the radar and computers of the JSF it can easily ID
several targets and program a single SDB against each.


Not at the speed it will be travelling at. It will cover the battlefield in
half the time of the A-10; that's a major problem.

And don't forget battle damage; no aircraft flying can absorb the amount of
damage an A-10 can survive.
