Ok boys and girls, lets put our intel eval hats on:

Port weapons bay is open, and he's breaking into a high-g turn. No indication of what he's planning on shooting at.

Is that a white one in there? If it is a live shoot-ex, isn't the chase plane a shade close? Unless that's part of the test, weapon launch under high-g load and unusual attitudes


**edit
Or is it one of these? CATM version of an AIM-120B ?

I see a bitching photo, suitable for framing!

Fake. If that was a real picture of an F35 you'd be able to see the trail of parts falling off behind it.

Hard to tell the color, but every AIM-120 I've ever seen has been grey. It's the color of the bands on the missile that tell you whether it's live or training/dummy.

Apparently the capture model has no fins, but the resolution in the shot doesn't look good enough to tell there
