I have a question, I haven’t found the AIM-7E being used on the F-15A. It is not listed in the manuals. I would trace the AIM-7F guidance methods, but not the materials for the AIM-7E on the F-15, where are you drawing from ?
I know we have had our disagreements, but I do think he listens to you a lot more than it appears.
Can you rephrase the question? “Materials for 7E”?.
The apg 63, 65, and 68 use HPRF waveform to guide the sparrow( the same signal the radar uses to track). The F14 is the only teen series that can do both CW and PD. 7F and up can do both and 7E/below require CW.
I think the E-4 was also capable of being guided with PD

My bad, sorry.
I didn’t find that the AIM-7E was used on the F-15. I wonder where you’re getting your information about use on the F-15.
The EM diagram is with full forward sweep? As I said, if you have primary information showing the performance is not accurate we can easily submit a report and it will be fixed (often within ~2 weeks of the report). I fully encourage you do so.
“We” is a stretch here as people defended that for eons.
Yes the -7E-4 was, but it was only ever used by the F-14’s as training aids, all it is, is an AIM-7F seeker & autopilot mounted to the -7E’s propulsion section. Technically it probably could have been used by the F-15, but was USN only in practice.
I never said it can, could or did. Just that that the soviet manual wrongly states it can. Gotta reread the post

Please, go ahead and try to use a plane with a vastly higher approach speed and required landing length and put it onto a carrier. No the F-15 was not put on a carrier because the design was untenable for carriers, in the same vein as the purposed carrier capable F-16.
Neither airframe would be able to even remotely operate off a carrier efficiently without massive design overhauls.

Yeah if the the navy wanted the F15 they would of made it work but thry refused to use any stuff that the airforce had and vise versa
They had the F14 as they pulled out of the F111 navy and airforce rarely agree untill the F35
Where do these charts come from? Please send the name or link.

I’ve had it for about 4 years now but haven’t had time to look at it yet and the tables are at the end. Great, I’ve only looked properly now, thank you.
Regarding a Navy F-15, there was the F-15N and F-15N-PHX that were suggested but never were built. The N died because it couldnt carry the AIM-54 at all, the N-PHX likely died because the idea of trying to outmatch a purpose built plane like the F-14 in a role by retrofitting/modifying an existing airframe is kinda dumb and likely wouldve killed any performance advantage the F-15 had over the F-14 anyways. It was estimated the F-15N-PHX would increase the weight of the aircraft by a minimum of 9000lbs.

@k_stepanovich how does the RWR F-15 see the Pacntcir S1 and Tunguska if 1 U symbol should be displayed

AN/ALR-56M Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)The Loral AN/ALR-56A RWR is designed to detect incoming radar signals, identify and characterize these signals to a specific threat, and alert the aircrew through the TEWS display. The AN/ALR-56 system features four external antennae mounted on the each fin tip and on both wingtips, with a fifth blade-shaped antenna underneath the forward fuselage. The solid state ALR-56 is based on a digitally-controlled dual channel receiver that scans from 6-20 GHz, while changes in the threat can be accommodated by software modifications.

The radar of the Pantcir has a radiation of 34 GHz.RWR f-15 should not see him at all

I looked at the manual for the AN/ALR-56C including other articles and didn’t find it :-( but I suppose if the Pancir has been in service since 2003, the AN/ALR-56 should have seen it)
The book manual does not show the symbolism of threats.
