Hi all.

I've just been watching some YouTube vids of this awesome jet, it's got to be one of my favorites.

Can anyone tell me if the USAF Strike Eagles are using the SNIPER pod now in place of the older LANTIRN targeting pod, I've read that the SNIPER is better because it is smaller and allows the aircraft to carry chaff and flares
where it one couldn't because of the LANTIRN pod.

Also, are the USAF jet now as advanced and capable as the South Koreans F-15SK's I've read that those are the most capable versions of the F-15E.

I know I asked these questions before, but I can't remember anything of them.

yes the training sqs, why would we train with the same thing we would use in a war, witchcraft.





and yes we do use snipers when we are actively killing people





I think we are more than capable than ANY other force in the WORLD. Most retards that compare capabilities only look at the bright and shiny. Example the F-22, Oh look it has thrust vectoring, it can do some serious dogfighting, it has to be the best in the world Or they look at the K models and see the 129 engines, compared to the 220's, oh it a better aircraft becuase it has newer engines.





Just having the tools does not mean you will win. You have to KNOW how to win. Giving someone a OBR will not make them a SEAL as much as some pretend it does.



As proof, The picture of 68 SEs on the runway went around the world. guess who wants to know how to kick ass

I concur, it kicks your ass just looking at it. I remember I saw one once in South Africa maybe in 1995, they had one USAF F-15E there, I even got the pilot to sign my Pratt and Whitney hat, still have that hat too.

Here are the videos I was checking out. Will the USAF jets ever get the newer engines?
