Boeing F-15EX Eagle II - Sharpening the Bald Eagle's Talons

Ah right.

Hmm. I am confused. Weren’t you saying that there was a newer doc that it can take three? Was that for F-15EX? Please clarify.

It’s about JSOW.

Ok, got it.

Updated weaponry section.

And?

And the devs are wrong. Surprise surprise

No, in general, this is correct.

I’m not arguing this. I’m stating fact. F-15E is missing it’s BRU-61 on stations 2 & 8 only because of Dev incompetence.

And you are nobody to argue with me on it.

So. This pylon can be added, cyz we already have addition of igla to the Mi-28nm internal pylon, but wing BRU-61 that is either an extremely rarely used loadout option or it is not authorized like the outrigger pylon on the AV-8B. Or i have old docs

What about the AGM-179? It can theoretically carry as much of them as GBU-39s

Without gnss I think they’re kinda doa for plane launch’s.
Besides gbu 53 exists

Nah, AGM-179 is good for anti heli.

So, 28 GBU-53. I was wrong.

The AIM-260 will be operational by the time the Meteor will be integrated into the F35.

The US is developing new long range air to air missiles that will likely be carried by the F-15EX. One of the programs is the Long Range Engagement Weapon.

its been a long time since the brit use the meteor on the f35, the brits did it lol and now the europ allied will follow, they can keep the aim-260 it will bring nothing new

Lockheed Martin is doing the work, not the British and they flew with the Meteor in the weapons bay. They haven’t launched any yet. It’s still a long way for the Meteor to be operational on the F35.

off topic

f15 is still weak, the only way to make it worth fighting is to give it a new weapon, even the f18 is a lot better than the f15

Either way, the AIM-260 is already in production. Production orders for the AIM-260 were placed earlier this year the F 15 also was carrying AIM-120s into desert storm before they were formally adopted. For all we know, the AIM-260 can already be in service, but not formally adopted.

mach 2.8-2.9 vs mach 1.8 definitely isnt an advantage
