If we really needed them we could probably get our hands on a few dozen for a shooting war.

We did that with AMRAAM for Desert Storm, but by the time we got them into theater the war was just ending, so it was not fired in anger, but i think some Eagles did fly CAP with them before the war was officially over.

We did that with LANTIRN too, but that did see service. Same with GPS.
