    F-35 and F-15X combination- unstoppable

    F-35 and F-15X combination- unstoppable

    No plane, even the F-35, is designed to fly alone. We use several types of planes together to achieve missions. The F-35 combined with other aircraft to include the F-15X could make an unstoppable aerial force.

    In a future air fight, it’s possible that the more stealthy F-35A could get closer to enemies, spot them, then relay targeting data back to F-15Xs, which could launch the missiles at threats from a safe distance. The US military has embraced this kind of networked warfare as a whole, and the strengths of the F-15X and F-35A complement each other in such an environment.

    I saw a documentary on the old Military Channel a few years before the F-35 showing the capabilities of the Raptor. It showed its maneuverability but the main focus was its advanced avionics and what it could do in a big war scenario. The ability to lock onto multiple targets as far as 100 miles away, fire and turn away. Each missile fired would track and hit only its target. They said with that capability they could stay in the area and direct missiles launched from "missile truck planes," in this case B-2 stealth bombers which could be converted to hold a whole bunch of missiles.
