Lyrode Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Finally phasing out. Age wise deploying an F-15C today equals deploying P-51 during Desert Storm. 2
jye0622 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Personally, I hope that the radar will be configured as AN/APG-70, and that it can be developed for ground attack purposes in the future, and that ED will have a chance to be remastered like the F-15E. 1

APG-70 was a stop-gap radar for the F-15C, used temporarly on 45 F-15C/D airframes, then replaced by the more advanced APG-63(v)1. APG-70 offered more A/G options at cost of somewhat reduced A/A performance and reliability. F-15E avionics-wise it completely different aircraft. Performance are different as well. 3
