‘Invincible Eagle’ F-15E shocked when carrying 5 stealth missiles weighing 1 ton

The American multi-role fighter F-15E Strike Eagle has extremely respectable air combat and ground attack capabilities.

The US Air Force recently conducted a test for the F-15E multi-role fighter when it carried five long-range air-to-surface missiles to attack outside the AGM-158 JASSM air defense point. These 1-ton stealth missiles will give the Strike Eagle the ability to hit land and sea targets equivalent to a bomber, while the air combat capability remains the same. To mount the AGM-158 JASSM to the F-15E’s external fuel tank mount requires a specially designed mechanism. At the same time, the aircraft still carries 2 short-range air-to-air missiles and 2 medium-range missiles, a total of 9 missiles. Despite being born for a long time, the power of the “Attack Eagle” F-15E is said to be still superior to many opponents in the world, now with a large number of AGM-158 JASSM missiles, Strike Eagle has become more and more multiple. dangerous part. AGM-158 JASSM is an upgrade from AGM-154 JSOW, officially put into service with the US Army in the mid-1990s, this is essentially a stealthy cruise missile equipped with a jet engine with Super long range, enough to overcome all the most advanced air defense systems. The AGM-158 JASSM missile is equipped with a Teledyne CAE J402 jet engine that allows to operate over a large area for a longer time. The missile’s body is designed with stealth capabilities and infrared shielding measures that make it very difficult to detect from a distance by radar systems. The AGM-158 is equipped with a very sophisticated navigation system that combines updated INS inertial guidance from the GPS global positioning system with an infrared sensor for finding and locking the target at the end. . The missile is also equipped with a data link that updates the operational status during the flight to change the target at the last moment if necessary. Significant improvements in the engine and aerodynamics give the AGM-158 JASSM a range of up to 370 km and up to 1,000 km in the JASSM-ER variant. The AGM-158 JASSM operates as an air-launched ground-attack cruise missile, not a clever glide bomb like the AGM-154. The range of the AGM-158 missile has exceeded the reach of most modern air defense systems today, helping the aircraft carrying it not have to enter the danger zone. Stealth capabilities and a new generation of quieter jet engines, which can operate at low altitudes below the range of radars, allow the missile to launch a surprise attack that makes the enemy unable to react. The AGM-158 JASSM has a variant of the AGM-158C LRASM super-long-range anti-ship cruise missile, which will be the main attack weapon of the US Navy fleet in the not too distant future. With the AGM-158 family of attack missiles, the US Army wants to convey the message that speed is not the core factor that gives a weapon’s power, this direction of theirs is completely different from that of Russia.
