Belly slam airplane

Take a look at the F-22 Raptor's belly: [link]. Doesn't it look like it would be good at slamming into things? But, unfortunately, it would almost certainly be damaged by doing so.

Therefore, this idea is an airplane with a reinforced belly instead of missile hardpoints/bays, which attacks enemy aircraft by flying directly at them and impacting them, probably using Pugachev's Cobra [link] or a similar maneuver. It probably would have to be unmanned due to the high acceleration and precise control involved.

       Extra reinforcement usually extra weight, affecting lift, flight duration, etc.

       It would have such problems, but effectively unlimited ammo would be pretty cool.

       So do weapons.

       See also "Guardians of the Galaxy"; the scene with the small mining craft smashing through the enemies.

       So what exactly are the opposition doing while you're running at them trying to administer a Glasgow Kiss ? Firing off some flavour of standoff guided missile ? Spraying you with 30mm cannon rounds ?   

       Dodging at the last second ... ?
