Description
The F-22 Raptor was built to detect and destroy enemy aircraft before they can react, yet it still carries a hidden 20mm M61A2 cannon for the moments when advanced missiles are no longer enough. Mounted internally behind a specialised stealth door, the weapon preserves the fighter’s low-observable design while remaining available for close-range combat, emergency defence and final-strike situations. Its six rotating barrels can fire thousands of rounds per minute, while the linkless ammunition system improves reliability, reduces servicing time and maintains aircraft balance during firing. Missiles can fail, run out or become ineffective when an opponent is too close, making the cannon a crucial layer of battlefield insurance. This episode explores why one of the world’s most advanced stealth fighters still depends on a weapon rooted in traditional air combat.
