You can act as comms relay.

Yeah, this thing is sick.

Yeah, jamming.

GPS jamming.

The communications on other enemy platforms.

Yeah.

Wow.

One of the other cool things, so we like to say this thing hauls ass and sips gas, right?

It can fly for 2,100 nautical miles with full mission payload, but it's flying, cruising at 55,000 feet altitude, which is higher than any other like aircraft, like definitely like in its class, right?

And why is that important?

It actually allows your air-to-air missiles, it improves the kinematics on them, which makes for...

you know, the easiest way to say it is like longer range weapons.

Um, and so now your missiles can actually go further because they're, you know, they're actually, there's less dense up there.

They're able to, they're not, you know, using as much gas when they're being fired.

Um, and I don't think a lot of people appreciate, but like in air to air combat, air to air warfare, like what matters is your sensor range.

What matters is, uh, the range of your missiles.

Um, it's not, it

As cool as dogfighting is, it's not within visual range dogfighting anymore.

F-35 is amazing because it can see everything before it gets seen and it can attack those things.

Same thing with this aircraft.
