The aircraft also have armament control panels. and infrared and electronic countermeasures to handle surface-to-air-threats, both missile and anti aircraft artillery.

I love this: They talk about armament control panels like they're ERA and not a tablet that let's you switch between guns and bombs. They also talk about flairs and chaff like a middle-schooler trying to pad an essay.

Wait till they find out about the RWR. This thing is invincible!
