When did I ask for it? This is what happens when you fail to read the posts and want to start an argument for the sake of arguing. You start imagining things people didn’t say.
The question was if the F15A use the Aim-120s in real life. The answer is YES.
You also keep spreading this false notion as if it applies to everything^
The F15A was retired by the Air Force. Not retired completely. They are STILL IN ACTIVE SERVICE. Including in the US. I literally gave you the tail number for one that is still flying in California at Edwards.
So for clarity, no. You are absolutely wrong. The F15As are not “retired” in the sense you are trying to portray.
At this point you are simply refusing to read the facts, and correct your mistakes and playing some kind of strange mental gymnastics. Maybe if we break this down barney style for you it will help.
-
Production Began in 2006. (As I have proven).
-
F15As are still in service. (The US Airforce isn’t the only F15A operator in the World).
-
Countries with F15s still in service have ordered the Aim-120C-8 & Aim-120D models. (Israel, Japan, Norway, UK etc.)
-
The Aim-120C-8 is an older missile put through the F3R program to turn it into an Aim-120D-3 (at this point). So for all purposes consider them the same.
Now the question was:
And the answer is… Yes! The F15As do use the Aim-120Ds in real life.
