Do F22 raptors carry nuclear warheads?

Answer 1

Yes, the F22 Raptor does have nuclear capability.

Conventional weapons it carries are the AIM-120 AMRAAM air to air missile, and the AIM-9 Sidewinder. For ground attacks the F-22 Raptor carries the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb and the 1000-lb JDAM. It's also equipped with a 20mm M61A2 Vulcan cannon.

The B61 nuclear bomb can fit inside the F-22 Raptor's weapons bays and will also be carried by the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The B61 nuclear bomb is one of the primary thermonuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile. It is an intermediate-yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design.[1] The B61 is a variable yield bomb (0.3 to 340 kiloton yield in various versions and settings) designed for carriage by high-speed aircraft. It has a streamlined casing capable of withstanding supersonic flight speeds. The weapon is 11 ft 8 in (3.56 m) long, with a diameter of about 13 inches (33 cm). Basic weight is about 700 pounds (320 kg), although the weights of individual weapons may vary depending on version and fuse/retardation configuration. -From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
