The ability to carry large diameter bombs is not something the F-22 can do.

A non-issue when you consider that the F-22 is not a multi-role plane, it was built for air superiority.

But it seems very few people know that. There is a constant chorus of people saying we should have bought F-22 instead of F-35. Neither of them is equipped to performs the other’s mission.

“The B61 cannot fit inside the F-22 Raptor’s weapons bays and will instead be carried by the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.[5]”

Is it just me or does that look like the “Auto Pilot” from “Airplane” behind the controls?
LOL
