F-35 takes out two air targets simultaneously
Last year, an F-35 pilot fired two Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles at maneuvering drones in the air, bringing synchronized attack to a new level for the aircraft, using an integrated targeting sensor, called the Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS).
Two AMRAAMs had multiple targets – to shoot two airborne targets simultaneously. It was a complex set up that happened over the Pacific. They were shooting at drones, Lt. Col. Tucker Hamilton, F-35 Test Director, Edwards AFB, told reporters last year.
I thought that this had already been done. Is this a case of a journalist just getting it wrong, this just being the fist time that it was actually demonstrated, or was it just the 1st time for the F-35?
