Mission to prevent hostile mechanised infantry forcing themselves South towards 'no mans land' and the front lines.... We go up in f-16 block 50's to work the area.... we did not expect air defences and it was a huge thorn in our side to completing our mission.....
The new F-15SA Eagle, armed with twelve AIM-120 Amraam medium range air to air missiles.
The USAF will buy a bunch of them for combat air patrol; intercept missions and SEAD with AGM-88 HARM.
