F-15E Strike Eagles unable to shoot down the F-35s in 8 dogfights during simulated deployment
“0 losses in 8 dogfights against F-15E Red Air”
The U.S. Air Force F-35A fleet continues to work to declare the Lightning II IOC (initial operational capability) scheduled in the August – December timeframe. Among the activities carried out in the past weeks, a simulated deployment provided important feedbacks about the goal of demonstrating the F-35’s ability to “penetrate areas with developed air defenses, provide close air support to ground troops and be readily deployable to conflict theaters.” Seven F-35s deployed from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, to carry out a series of operational tests which involved local-based 4th Generation F-15E Strike Eagles belonging to the 366th Fighter Wing. In a Q&A posted on the USAF website, Col. David Chace, the F-35 systems management office chief and lead for F-35 operational requirements at ACC, provided some insights about the activities carried out during the second simulated deployment to Mountain Home (the first was in February this year): “The F-35 recently deployed from Hill to Mountain Home where crews, maintenance and support personnel conducted a number of missions. During that deployment, crews attained a 100 percent sortie generation rate with 88 of 88 planned sorties and a 94 percent hit rate with 15 of 16 bombs on target. These numbers provide a positive indication of where we are when it comes to stability and component performance.” View Quote Sounds like the F-35 is improving I am guessing still a ways away from war ready however. |

It's almost like its next level stuff.
The F35 is closer to alien tech than most can imagine. |

One assumes it shares the lack of ability to track and kill 5 gen stealth. The open source answer is that Mud Hens are Cs with and extra dude in the cockpit, more gas, and more bombs. Slicked up they should be comparable with an added set of eyes to the C in A to A. |

how about against an f22 or an f16?
lol at the article "(noticing also the “pew pew pew” in the chart….) have suggested the JSFs achieved stunning 8:0 kill rate against the Strike Eagle." |

The F-15C was the last purpose built air-to-air fighter in the F-15 line. The F-15E was a redesign to turn an F-15 into a bomb truck. The added weight and electronics was not to make the F-15 a better air-to-air fighter. There was an experimental F-15 with movable canards demonstrated to the Air Force that gave the F-15 a real tight turn radius at low speed (<400 knots).
In other words, F-15E compared to an F-35 is toned down 1970's technology verses overpriced 2000's technology. |

its the heavy f15 outfitted with extra conformal fuel tanks, lots of bombs, and bombing avionics. oh and an extra person too. with all their extra cockpit and gear. so naturally its a very fast nimble dogfighter /sarcams |

Unless micE is clouding their vision. Take it easy. I don't think you'll find a soul on this forum who isn't for furthering the advancement of Americas technological superiority. With that being said I think they are a lot closer than we like to believe. Even if they aren't right on our ass they are much closer than they were in the past. The F35 is an easy target for sarcasm because it's behind schedule and over budget. I hope to god the program is immensely successful and we build thousands of them. I'd hate to see it have the same fate as the Raptor. |

Not to hard to figure out who gets the lock first. More Raptors was of course the smart move but we didn't get the smart move. As an outsider looking in I sure hope JSF lives up to it's billing. |

I would hope so. The Mudhen is no dog fighter. and without knowing how much their hands were tied as 'red air' the test means nothing. Exactly. Try it against the F-15Cs with v3 radar. Cleaned up, the F-15E is no slouch, though not the C. There are very few APG-63v3-equipped F-15C's running around, that upgrade has been slow-rolled. However, there are a ton of APG-82-equipped F-15E's. The APG-82 was originally the APG-63v4, using the front end of the v3 with the back end of the APG-79. It's a better radar in most respects than the v3, and a much better radar than the v1 that's on most of the F-15 fleet. That's probably why they picked a Mudhen unit - a lot of fighting a stealthy aircraft is manuevering it in such a way so as not to give away it's stealth advantage (and the F-35 has a notable stealth hole to the rear). A 82-equipped Mudhen will see things that a 63v1-equipped C won't. Really, a well handled F-35 should club a non-stealthy fighter like a baby seal. Yeah, it's no F-22 - in a straight visual fight, an F-15 should tear apart an F-35, while it still is at a big disadvantage against an F-22. But none of that matters if the F-35 pilot knows where you are, and you don't know where they are. Then you find out where they are when you get a missile launch warning... and then it's likely too late. |
