The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® has been in service since 2015 and is capable of mission support, bombardment and typical air combat missions. The F-35 is a supersonic aircraft with reduced airborne detection capability, has high reconnaissance and electronic warfare capabilities in detection, tracking, targeting and jamming.

The missile armament consists of up to 6 AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9X Sidewinder or AIM-132 ASRAAM missiles in internal ammunition compartments or two air-to-air missiles and two 455 kg bombs. Weapons for destroying ground targets can be JSOW or GBU-39 SDB bombs (4 in each bomb bay), Brimstone anti-tank missiles, cluster bombs or AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles. At the expense of losing stealth characteristics, it is possible to suspend the equipment up to four underwing pylons and two at the ends of the wings (for AIM-9).

The aircraft project is jointly financed by the governments of the United States, Great Britain and other countries interested in purchasing the aircraft. The F-35®B LIGHTNING II® was built under the direction of Lockheed Martin in collaboration with BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman.
