U.S. Military Is Testing The Most Dangerous Deadliest StormBreaker Bomb On The F-35 Fighter Jet Raytheon, one of the world’s largest defense contractors, has confirmed that it is starting to integrate and officially test the GBU-53/B StormBreaker bomb on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. According to a recent company news release, the first StormBreaker munitions drop test of the F-35 was conducted in late 2021 to test the communication link between the weapon and the secondary aircraft. The StormBreaker can launch from the F-35, as well as from the Navy the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet carrier-based jet fighter-bomber. Like the GPS-guided GBU-39 SDB I already integrated on the F-35 joint strike fighter, the 208-pound StormBreaker with upgrades is six to seven inches in diameter. This size can fit eight StormBreaker munitions in the F-35’s confined internal weapon bays. If stealth is not a factor, about 16 more can fit on the F-35’s wings. #America
