Nice video of an F-35 fully loaded out (bombs, missiles, etc.) It's in what is called "Beast Mode" or Bomb Truck Load, or Third Day of War mode. Basically, it has all the bombs and air-to-air missiles it can carry on hardpoints on the wings, which makes it unstealthy. The idea is that by the 3rd day of war, many of the air defenses and air denial targets have been taken out and you can now carry a full load out and wreck some shit.
In "Beast Mode", exploiting the internal weapon bays, the F-35 can carry 2x AIM-9X (pylons), 2x AIM-120 AMRAAM (internal bomb bay) and 4x GBU-31 2,000-lb (pylons) and 2x GBU-31 PGMs (internal bay).
This is a Dutch Test and Evaluation unit flying in California in association with Americans and the British. Great video of full afterburner. Would love to have been there on that lookout/stand. I guarantee the sound of the video does not do it justice. This is an official video.
Enjoy
