It shows how combinations of weapons and pods are loaded onto major aircraft, including the F-15, B-1B, Su-30, and EF2000 Typhoon, and how they work together in the heat of battle. Organized by airplane type, the book includes annotations, numbered diagrams, top- and side-view illustrations, and photographs to explain the terminology and systems employed in modern warfare.
