mvsgas Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) No, does not have the capability physically, nor the software or sensors to utilize the AGM-88 ( or equivalent) Edited August 3, 2016 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Tirak Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Apparently a General made a statement saying F-117As were working with F-16s and using the F-16s as bait for SAMs and using HARMS. The statement is frankly rather confusing and so who is actually carrying the HARMs is ambiguous, but it's certainly possible to interpret the way he said it as the F-117As were the ones carrying them. However, this is likely a misinterpretation of what he actually meant. Still, because of this, there's quite a few web pages that make the claim that F-117As can carry not only Paveways, but HARMs and Mavericks as well. I would note that those armaments are staples of the F-16, which were also being discussed at the time, thus the confusion. Aside from those articles, I can find no reliable technical source, that can reference anything other than that interview, that claims the F-117A is capable of employing missiles of any kind.
