Major Update “Tusk Force” - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Which means diddly-squat that you haven’t seen it bub

Incorrect. And specifically shown by the army in a new C-UAS video they released.

New job has me quite busy, LMUR! So excited!

New Airfield AA on the second Dev, ITO 90M. About a 9 and a bit km range you can get killed at if you don’t keep speed and defend, even at that range it’s close. Some AA that can actually defend DAMN! IMO a good change.

It’s been over 9 months since the first AESA’s was added, and both were to minor nations so if anything it’s the major nations waiting for their AESA

The first jet to get an AESA doesn’t even have one yet.

The F2 has an AESA

And F-15Cs had them before the F-2 entered service, o7

F2 was in service in September of 2000 and the F15C with APG-63 v2 was December of that same year

the last APG-63v2 F-15 entered service december that year

Nope. The last of 18 combat coded F-15Cs received the v2 in December of 2000. Integration happened well before that.

No the last 3 of the 18 got the APG-63 v2 in December

So when was first delivered because i am sure that the F2 was in service before any of these F15Cs were

Then you don’t know anything about how aircraft receive modifications or the integration process associated with that.

less 3 months to upgrade, flight test, and combat code 18 aircraft with a limited modification thats the first of its kind seems really short

Why do you assume the F15C that were delivered were immediately in service

They were just delivered not in service


Raython

They were already a part of the Fighter Squadron there, not delivered from the factory. You don’t mod all aircraft at once from an active unit.

And I know firsthand how long these things take

F-15E Strike Eagle With New EPAWSS Electronic Warfare Suite Heads To Frontline Unit

they could just be going off the boeing article and confused delivery of the last 3 for the first flight

And I can tell you for a fact that is an incorrect statement to say it took it’s first flight, when the last of 18 aircraft finished mod in December.

Struggling to find proof that seeker was ever used on the BUK missile we have in game
