I believe it's the first production (non-prototype, non-development
airframe) for the F-35 Lightning Joint Strike Fighter. A completely different plane from the F-22. It's meant to be smaller, a bit cheaper, built in greater quantity, and more aimed at both air-to-ground and air-to-air than the F-22's air-superiority focus.

First off, it's just now coming out of testing, and they haven't even started replacing the EA-6Bs... Secondly, I don't think the -35 has enough external pylons to carry the four jamming pods, let alone the tanks to get its range up with all the extra drag. Super Hornets will be around for a while. |
