Australian Super Hornet spotted with AIM-260 JATM at Gray Flag exercise
A Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornet was photographed carrying an inert AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile during the Gray Flag 2026 large-force test event, weeks after Australia announced procurement of the weapon. The War Zone and The Aviationist reported the sighting. AIM-260 is designed to replace AIM-120 AMRAAM with extended range and improved kinematics.
