And 2x AIM-9x and 2x AIM-120s?
That's just nasty and unfair.
This is one of the dumbest post I've seen in here and I've seen many dumb post in here.Is it flying over Ukraine? If not then it is just a circus plane
Once we will see the Hornet in Ukraine then perhaps it's capabilities can be better judged
Adding extra missiles is nothing special China/ Russia and many other countries can add extra missiles of the need arises
Circus plane just does tricks and loops in air

This circus plane has never actually gone to war with Russian or Chinese planes
So far it was up against may be 60's planes or may be nation with no airforce
All those extra missiles will just slow down the plane , and also give a gigantic radar signature for ground based units

Mate, you alright? Why the mighty Russians failed to shoot down a single American jet fighter in Syria when the US attacked Shayrat airbase in 2017, or when the US attacked Syrian state infrastructure in 2018, or when the US attacked Wagner troops in 2018? Houthi also have some air defense systems that have shot down drones and jet fighters but failed to bring down a single F/A-18 in recent clashes with US Navy.Is it flying over Ukraine?

You don't see the point of this set up because your bias doesn't wanna see it. Or it could be that you are technically challenged and actually don't have the capacity to understand how this capability works. Your post shows how simple in your thinking you are and can't explore the possibility that it is more than just one plane carrying long range missiles and ONLY using its own radar instead of a whole system... but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and stick with you being biased.I am trying to figure out the actual point of this set-up?
There is no way that this plane would be able to use its own radar to track targets at very long range, and it would have such a large RCS that it itself would be vulnerable to being taken out by stealthy opponents armed even with standard BVR AAMs.
It would just be "advertising" itself and have a target on its back saying "shoot me down".
