A built in targeting camera but yeah. The only built in targeting system on any aircraft that works is the EAOS (or whatever) on the F-35. Targeting pods are much easier to design and implement onto an aircraft than a camera that would need the plane to go in for effectively a rebuild just for a fucking low quality, low zoom camera that is blocked out if you carry forward belly ordinance
Not the only built in targeting system per say. Things like Pirate and OSF on EFT, and rafale for example can do most of what the f35 system does in this aspect. However, the f35 does feature a laser designator, that the other miss, so in that sense yes, it’s the only plane with a working and complete TGP suit integrated
The PIRATE is not a bad system but is more meant for one main role while the EAOS is a all-in-one system with another subsystem that manages the all round cameras that also act as a MAW
All round optical capability is not achieved by the Pirate and OSF. Pirate does lack a laser range finder for accurate datalink guidance of missiles, but the rafale’s only goes to 40km (with plans for 100km for F5 standard).
The f35 sensor suit does have true spherical optical coverage, and to some degree the rafale MAW system being optical could offer similar capability, whereas the radar based law of the Pirate is more limited in that aspect, but only the f35 does show the pilot what happens all around on its HMD, but that is beside the original point I believe, since this is more of a defensive posture, whereas the front aspect optics are for long range (stealth) targeting
But you get my point. We should also get back on topic of how bad and evil the Snail is and how they are funding the deaths of thousands of innocent people for some stupid reason
This will likely also be removed by that stupid bot
Funding deaths?
1984 over here lol…
Big brothers always watching.
