How about a Ronin mission with a Black Shark and a Warthog working together to devastate a target. Constant firepower on target. When the Shark comes off target, the Hog is rolling in. Maybe even try it with a FAC (I remember back in my youth, silly talk of the Viper doing FAC work). Maybe grab the other stooge and light up a treeline!

“Missile truck” was also considered for the B1, probably would have been effective given their top speed and capacity, but idea dropped as they are slated for retirement.

​@@yujinhikita5611 As far as I know, it was proposed to have 24 or 26 AMRAAMs carried externally on converted hardpoints, as well as bombs carried both internally and externally on remaining unconverted hardpoints. So 24 was a conservative proposal. I imagine though, if you wanted to get crazy, it wouldn't have been too difficult to engineer an internal missile drop/launch system, especially since the B1s still have the mounting points for the rotary launch mechanism for the nukes they were meant to carry initially. At that point, you're only limited by volume on how many AIM-120s you can carry, since the missile only weighs ~350 lbs and the B1 can carry 75,000 lbs internally.

That wasn't RWR, that was datalink.

"How many AMRAAMs do you need?" "Yes."

Every single Amraam (except for the second to last one he fired) was so utterly lost, it's almost like they interpreted "lock on to that J-11" to mean " target mainland China"!

McDonnell Douglas : "We made the Eagle-II as you requested, so how many missiles-" USAF : "Y E S"

Thanks for going over the different acronyms and screens and indicators. I’ve only been subbed for a couple months and have been wondering what some of those things mean but frequently forget to google them! It’s been fun to see the channel continuing to grow and I know us newer folks appreciate it!

Appreciated the datalink quick explainer! When you take the time to say these things they always feel appropriately timed and intermittent.

The ex is just gonna make the f15 kill ratio even more ridiculous

The additional information about the datalink display and the HUD were very informative. Please keep doing that.

3:03 I believe you're thinking of the 'Rapid Dragon' program, which is an effort to palletize and airdrop cruise missiles (ex JASSM) from cargo heavies (C-130 family, C-17, C-5). Not sure if there's any air-to-air missiles planned for that capability, but it's still a pretty cool project.

I'm surprised the eagle wasn't dumping more amraams at you. He had PLENTY to spare.

Regarding 3:10, the B-1R variant of the Lancer was supposed to have an AESA radar and the capability to field air-to-air missiles, along with more powerful turbojets for Mach 2 flight. I think the estimate was around 50ish AMRAAMs, if you can believe that

Speaking of missile trucks, I think a modified B1 could do the trick: it's got room for the payload and also the speeds, since it is supersonic

You should try to test the F-22 with 28 aim-120s like the USAF did for a training exercise recently.

I really appreciate the explanation of the datalink, as a persons who doesn’t have DCS and doesn’t know much about it, its really fun to learn parts of the cockpit as well.

I don't know of any fighter pilot that wouldn't have second thoughts trying to contest the skies with bomb truck Eagles and F22s slinking about.....lol

He nailed you the moment you recommitted and he turned at the last minute which enabled him to defeat your PL-10. You may've had a chance of winning if you sent one of your PL-15s at his AWACS. His SA would've been degraded into the ground. Oh well, great video.

Ah yes SpAMRAM configuration... love to see it

The EX is primarily a replacement for the 15C ANG units. It’s not slated for use in offensive operations, unless it’s one where air superiority has already been attained. Compared to the F-35A, it’s cheaper per flight hour and requires significantly less maintenance. The 35A is wasted as a defensive platform. The high AMRAAM requirement serves the defensive role well, as any large scale aggressive action will see many enemy aircraft attacking at once. Once the new long range AA missile program is complete, the Eagle II will serve an even greater role in defensive operations. Carrying more missiles further degrades its stealth effectiveness, and it’s not designed to have much in that regard. The primary issue with the ANG units is that they are past due for retirement, with many at the end or even past their suitable EOL.

The mighty F-15 still has teeth. More than ever.

Theyve been working on equipping big boys with *defensive weapons, missiles, since way back. My dad was ordinance tech in the AF in Vietnam, they were working hard on missile mountings and function on buffs.

Would love to see a modernized f111 as a dedicated missile truck. Pair it up with modernized f5s for the airforce on a budget. Love to see how it plays out.

Picture this: A Modern F-4J Phantom Missile Truck. The Phantom lacked a gun so it would be fitting as a missile truck. The WSO deploys the missiles. Also the F-4J is still one the fastest platforms out there. It could be on station in a heart beat leaving the dogfighting to the F-15s or F-22s. The Navy could also use the F-4J Missle Truck on their platforms for the F/A-18, F-35C, Growler or Marine Corps F/A-18C or Harriers.

About using planes other than fighters as missile trucks for AMRAAMs... it wasn't C-130s. It was the B-1B that was being looked at. Think about it: a supersonic capable heavy bomber carrying a couple hundred of those missiles being guided in via datalink/F-22s plus the weapons the Raptors are carrying themselves.

I do appreciate you explaining the data link. I've watched many of you videos and never understand what your gauges or radar are saying. "Got him on radar" and I'm like, where? Not sure what I'm looking at because to my untrained eye, nothing from the view of the cockpit changed.
