Report: F-35 fighter conducts first weapons test

Wednesday's test saw the futuristic fighter-bomber drop an inert 1,000-pound (454 kg) GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) smart bomb from low altitude • Israel is set to become the first foreign country to obtain the advanced stealth jet, and is also expected to be allowed to outfit some of the plane's systems with its own technologies.
