from sweden's saab-35 fighter to the latest gripen e/f fighter, these fighters have demonstrated the elegance and power of highway takeoff and landing. they are able to complete unimaginable tasks in a narrow space, which gives these fighters a unique geopolitical advantage. sweden attaches importance to highways as war-ready runways because of the special geographical location and the need to cope with the pressure of confrontation with neighboring countries. however, with the transformation of the us military strategy, war is no longer just a simple confrontation, but must be integrated into the pattern of great power competition. the us military has also begun to realize that the advantages of highway takeoff and landing technology will have a significant impact on future wars.

the highway takeoff and landing drill of the f-35a stealth fighter is a landmark moment of this trend. as an air battleship, the stealth fighter is more sensitive due to its delicateness and fragility. this exercise provides an important opportunity for the us military to collect data and accumulate experience, which is crucial to victory in future wars. it is worth mentioning that the "brother" of the f-35b has also been exploring this technology. the joint exercise organized by the us air force and the marine corps allowed the pilots of the f-35b fighter to collect a large amount of flight parameter data during highway takeoffs and landings, and conducted a detailed analysis of the performance of the fighter in various environments.

in addition to fighter jets, the u.s. military is also expanding the application scope of highway takeoff and landing technology. large aircraft and drones are beginning to explore this new battlefield. the successful landing of the ac-130j gunship and the first takeoff and landing of the mq-9 reconnaissance and strike drone on the highway are both innovative attempts by the u.s. air force. these actions show that the u.s. military is moving in a more flexible and efficient direction, providing a strong guarantee for victory in future wars.

all of this stems from one fact: the battlefield is changing, and speed and flexibility will become weapons for new battlefield strategies. highway takeoff and landing technology will be an indispensable strategic means in future wars, which will change the pattern of war and even change the way of war.
