    Even better how about the JASSM-ER. Lets say 6 per plane & a squadron of 12. That's 72 stealthy, looong ranged, sea skimming cruise missiles with 450 kilo warheads. That should be enough to put the wind up the skirts of any CSG Commander.
    If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

      True, I'm stuck in the 80s lol
      “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

          But can the pylons handle the weight?

            Its designed to be air launched from jets like the FA-18 so one would assume so. After all the JASSM ER only weights just over 1000 kilos and older gen F-15s can carry ordinance of that weight. Bulk/dimensions might be another issue though. A maritime strike version of the EX might end up using fewer pylons when carrying a strike package of JASSMs. Any F-15 pilots about?

                  JASSM is a USAF project.

                  Navy has the LRASM that is comparable in weight and a F-18 E/F can carry 4 of those

                  F-15Es can carry 5 JASSMs

                      Makes absolute sense.
