Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor - Transforming the Aerial Warfare

Well, F-22 may also be able to take 1x1 countermeasures to get 144 and since countermeausre tech improves and iirc F-22 gets some special ones they could be equivalent to standard cm’s.

The F-22 can only carry AIM-9Xs on the outside pylons afaik. So 6 AIM-120C-5s and 10 AIM-9Xs

Why not AMRAAM? Basically every double launcher in US use can fire both AIM-9 and 120

Do you have photo or doc evidence for that? AMRAAM quite a bit heavier. I don’t know how far the wing loading goes on the F-22

Each station rated for 5,000lb, with photo evidence I can only immediately confirm the inner wings can do this though. That being said, a double racks with AMRAAM doesn’t weigh anywhere near 5000lb

Raptor can take fuel tanks which much more heavier than even 10 AMRAAMs
