Tthe Lockheed Martin F-35 Błyskawica II to rodzina jednomiejscowych, jednosilnikowych, wielozadaniowych myśliwców stealth w każdych warunkach pogodowych, poddawanych ostatecznemu rozwojowi i testom przez Stany Zjednoczone. Samolot bojowy piątej generacji jest przeznaczony do wykonywania misji ataku naziemnego i obrony powietrznej. F-35 ma trzy główne modele: F-35A konwencjonalny start i lądowanie (CTOL) wariant, F-35B krótki start i pionowe lądowanie (STOVL) wariant, a F-35C przewoźnika oparte Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) wariant. 31 lipca 2015 roku pierwsza eskadra została uznana za gotową do rozmieszczenia po intensywnych testach przeprowadzanych przez Stany Zjednoczone.

Tthe Lockheed Martin F-35 Błyskawica IIis the most ambitious military aircraft program in history. Designed to replace a wide variety of 4th-generation fighters (F-16, A-10, F/A-18, and Harrier), the F-35 is less of a traditional dogfighter and more of a “quarterback in the sky.” Its true power lies in itsStealth, Sensor Fusioni Network-Centric Warfarecapabilities, allowing it to see enemies from hundreds of miles away and share that data with every ship, tank, and plane in the fleet before the enemy even knows it is there.
The Variant Split:To satisfy different service needs, the F-35 was built in three versions. TheF-35A(USAF) is the conventional takeoff version; theF-35B(USMC) features a massive lift-fan for Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing (STOVL); and theF-35C(Navy) has larger wings and beefier gear for carrier traps.
Sensor Fusion & DAS:The F-35 features the Distributed Aperture System (DAS)—six infrared cameras mounted around the fuselage. This allows the pilot to “look through” the floor of the cockpit via their helmet-mounted display, providing 360-degree situational awareness.
Stealth by Design:Unlike older jets that use radar-absorbent RAM tape that peels off, the F-35’s stealth is baked into the “fiber mat” skin and the very geometry of the airframe, including serrated edges on doors and internal weapon bays.
The F135 Engine:The world’s most powerful fighter engine, the F135, provides enough electricity to power the jet’s massive suite of electronics while producing over 40,000 lbs of thrust.
Combat Role: The Silent Killer
Information Superiority:In Red Flag exercises, F-35s have achieved kill ratios as high as 20:1. Most “enemy” pilots report being “shot down” by an F-35 they never saw on radar and never spotted visually.
“Beast Mode”:When stealth is no longer required (after enemy air defenses are destroyed), the F-35 can carry up to 18,000 lbs of ordnance on its external wings, transforming from a ghost into a heavy-hitting truck.
Electronic Warfare:The F-35’s AN/APG-81 radar isn’t just for finding targets; it can also act as a powerful electronic jammer, blinding enemy radars and disrupting communications without the need for a dedicated EW aircraft like the Growler.
Global Fleet:With over 1,000 aircraft delivered to over a dozen allied nations, the F-35 has become the standard for Western airpower, ensuring that allies can “plug and play” their data streams during joint operations.
