AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile: Slamming Harpoon

So I think it can replace AGM-65D because it maintains 0.8 Mach throughout the flight to the target so it will be a reliable missile.

Is this a USN only weapon or can the USAF use it? Or is AGM-130 enough?

USAF has JASSM, which fills that role.

But the F-15E/EX is compatible with SLAM.

The F-16’s too right?

No

They can carry SLAM’s

It’s SLAM-ER.

F-16’s can also carry harpoons. SLAM is just a harpoon with maverick seeker. So it should work. SLAM-ER is also a SLAM with longer range

Pretty sure that’s Block 20 MLU

I know, I just mentioned it was SLAM-ER because I reversed image search your image

I think it’s a block 50/52

Yeah, in fact it’s a Greek one

Why does it have USAF serial and ED marking?

No idea

0.85m max speed? Like maverick

Yeah they’re subsonic, they don’t use AB Turbofans after all.

It seems like AGM-84 in the US was mostly just a testing thing and less of actually being operationally used.

I mean that should still be enough for it to get added, considering the Swiss hornet’s loadout and it being compatible is enough

Nah

If they tested it on F-16’s clearly marked with USAF serials and Edwards AFB tail codes that’s more than enough for Gaijins normal standard
