Supersonic Raptor drops first guided bomb
An F/A-22 recently dropped its first guided supersonic JDAM at Edwards Air Force Base.

The F/a-22 has done several supersonic separation tests since July but this is the first time the bomb was guided to its target.

The supersonic JDAM capability allows the Raptor to deliver the weapon from a much greater distance than any other aircraft.
