Italian F-35B Reveals 25mm Gun Pod: How Powerful Is It? – Italy's F-35B has just been visually confirmed carrying the GPU-9/A external 25mm gun pod, giving the stealth fighter a weapon option the F-35A doesn't need. The pod houses the GAU-22/A four-barrel Gatling gun and carries 220 rounds, potentially giving the F-35B another option for close-range engagements and even counter-drone missions. But there's a catch: mounting a weapon externally could increase the aircraft's radar cross-section and reduce some of its stealth advantage. So is the 25mm gun worth the compromise?
