Hello guys,

This is only my 2nd post here but I found an interesting article.

One F-22 broke new record with 28 missiles on a single plane.

This surpassed the previous record of 22 missiles set in 2014.

The exercise, part of the Weapons System Evaluation Program at Tyndall Air Force Base, demonstrated the squadron's readiness and teamwork.

Outfitting the F-22 with Sidewinder and AMRAAM missiles worth $14 million, the team proved the aircraft's capability in "Day Three" warfare scenarios, where maximum stealth is less critical.

I am very curious on how they did this, since I have never seen a F-22 double rack.

There weren't 28 missiles on a single aircraft, just a poorly written article by a clueless author. It was a two week exercise. 28 missiles were fired by an entire F-22 unit over the course of the exercise.
