The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation multirole stealth fighter designed for versatility in air-to-air, air-to-ground, and intelligence missions. Developed for the U.S. military and allied forces, it comes in three variants for conventional, short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL), and carrier-based operations. Equipped with advanced avionics, stealth technology, and networked capabilities, the F-35 enhances situational awareness and survivability, making it a dominant force in modern combat. Its unique design allows it to conduct precision strikes and operate in heavily defended airspaces, setting a new standard for fighter aircraft performance and interoperability.
