is this the actual range for f-15c aesa radar? there’s no way its this low right? only 160 km?
The original F-15 armaments handbook includes LGBs. It only doesn’t have them in-game because we don’t have buddy-lasing. With the TGP, I would expect them to appear.

Bruh 😂
Is there a recap of all the fm/engine changes to the F-15E and C?
Don’t think that anybody held that
They could squeeze out at least 2 more F-15 variants with this. AIM-260+APG-82X+powered GBU-53+EPAWSSv2 F-15E and F-15EX

What?
There are proposals for GBU-53s with small turbine engines to dramatically extend their range.
Well, still prototype/concept.
Which is exactly what he is suggesting? The APG -82vX, EPAWSS v2, AIM-260, and powered GBU-53 are all still on the ground as far as here is concerned but makes for a hypothetical future F-15EX addition.

I mean powered GBU-53.
Actually, I would like to have a PJDAM IR, but unfortunately, the PJDAM is dead, so I’m waiting for the Barracuda 100M on BRU
Well it is, basically just a SPEAR 3, so it’s not like it isn’t possible within the same form factor, but honestly the AGM-187A will probably already fill said role for the US.
Not entirely, but the US probably has better upcoming options for the 100~500lb class stores, and with the HSRL station adapter configurations (MML, Multiple Munitions Launcher) to service the gap between the BRU-55 &-57 w/ 2x 1000lb stores and BRU-61 with 4x 100lb (and the failed STAR adapter, a TER-9A/A with MIL-STD-1760 connections for each station)
I don’t say that it isn’t possible. I mean zero info about this missile. Maybe it is only concept, maybe already test in wind tunnel.
I don’t think. PJDAM is 500lb only in warhead. +fuel tank +engine +ther things.
In my opinion perfect combo is PJDAM + Barracuda 100M/Powered Stormbreaker.
The range isn’t really comparable though. A powered Storm breaker would have maybe 10x the range of AGM-187A
What’s the guidance on this one?
LWIR + GPS afaik.

New 15c cockpit

came with the upgrades done in 2018, came with compatibility with the talon hate IRST and communications pod, previously up at PDX, you could see the F-15Cs taking off with sniper pods on the centerline belly mounting point

That is not the new cockpit.
It is now several upgrades out of date.
That is just the PAD, for use with the Sniper/Legion pod.
