Taking a closer look into U.S. fighter jet assets

Staying with the combined air exercise.
There has never been one of this scale before.
The biggest and baddest weapons including F-22 Raptor, F-35 stealth fighter are all
being deployed.
Ji Myung-kil helps paint a clearer picture of the firepower involved.
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth generation... all-weather stealth tactical
fighter jet capable of undertaking high speed ground attacks, electronic warfare and signal
intelligence.
The F-22 is designed to be highly difficult to detect and track by radar.
It can carry three internal weapons in its fuselage and other missiles on its wings such
as air-to-surface and air-to-air weapons.
The Raptor formally entered service in December 2005, each unit costing around 150 million
U.S. dollars.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 is also an all-weather stealth multi-role fighter... designed for
ground attacks and air superiority missions.
The F-35 can carry a total of four weapons in its internal bays.
Two can hold air-to-surface missiles and the other two can hold smaller weapons such as
air-to-air missiles.
The F-35 also has a low-radar cross section and uses radar-absorbent materials... to increase
its stealth.
Built into the aircraft is an integrated electronic warfare system.
F-35's were introduced in 2015 and cost from 95 to 120 million dollars.
The B-1B bomber supersonic jets have a top speed of Mach 1-point-2, making them the fastest
bombers in the U.S. Air Force.
They can hold up to 24 cruise missiles and have a greatly reduced radar signature, especially
at low altitude.
The B-1B has the addition of an improved radar jamming and deception system.
Introduced in 1986... the cost of one unit is over 3-hundred million dollars.
The F-15 is a staple of the U.S. Air Force.
It's a twin-engine, tactical fighter jet designed to gain and maintain air supremacy in aerial
combat.
As a smaller, lighter plane, the F-15 has better maneuverability and a top speed of
over Mach 2.
It can be armed with a variety of air weaponry on its fuselage and is capable of in-flight
refueling and conducting deep interdiction missions.
It was first introduced in 1976 and is by far the cheapest at around 30 million dollars.
