The military’s long-delayed, multi-capable, high tech stealth jet, the F-35, will soon carry bombs that can hit moving targets with precision.

The Enhanced Paveway II bomb uses laser and GPS technology to target moving objects from a moving aircraft with precision, Fox News reported. They will increase the capabilities of the F-35, which was designed to replace multiple types of jets as a kind of all-purpose fighter, according to the F-35 Lightning II website.
