Imagine running a 12x AMRAAM/JATM and 5x 174 (on wing stations and one on center fuselage maybe) loadout
Outboard wing stations are rated for 1000 pounds, while AIM-174(even if usaf will buy it) weights almost 2000 pounds
Oh really? I thought it was 3,250 each since EX has 29,500lb official payload, E has 23,000lb, so that’s a 6500lb difference and since there are 2 new stations, that would make 3,250
Can you send a source for the 1k lb limit btw?
Ada300588. Page 2-8. It is for f-15e, but better than nothing
But then this wouldn’t apply to EX? 2 different aircraft
I think even the outboard stations on the EX loaded up with the double launcher and amraams would exceed 1000lb, making it completely wrong
Is it just me or is that image upside down?
Half of the brochure for some reason is upside down.
Thanks. I need no tickets to Australia anymore.

It’s from 2013, probably about the F-15SA or SE, different aircraft from F15EX. Iirc EX can carry more than SA
It’s got a few extras (5x AGM-158C), and is also being backported to -15E’s as well (as imaged, note the single wing station).
Typical strike eagle carried 5 JASSM a few years ago. Makes sense they are getting LRASM now, as warthogboy09 said, they are the same family of missile
I think you would still be able to run 12 AMRAAMs and 3 JATMs
Why the extra JATM’s? They should be able to go wherever an AMRAAM can

Yeah, seeing as JDAM-ER is made by Boeing also I’m not surprised it’s considered compatible
