(BTW, is it right that the F-35's weapons bay is too small to fit in
some weapons like ASRAAM?

No, the AAM bay is designed for up to AMRAAM sized
missiles.

The RAF and RN are even thinking of fitting four ASRAAMs
internally.

My understanding is ASRAAM has a larger
diameter than AIM-9X, giving it potential for greater
range/acceleration).

True, but it's got a slightly smaller span and it's
slightly shorter.
