silent-eagle Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'd never seen any strikes carry the thousand pound JDAM before :) Only seen them with the 2000 pound GBU-31 and the 500 pound GBU-38 though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spongebob Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does the AF use 1000lb bombs at all?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does the AF use 1000lb bombs at all?? The F-22 does. As far as I know though, they are the only one. There is no reason why the F-15E couldn't carry them, they just wouldn't. The AF does not have 1,000 pound bombs in thier "regular" inventory, and haven't since around the Vietnam timeframe. Were the F-15E to carry them, they would be limited to LCT-1, LCT-3, RCT-1, RCT-3 (the front and back lower CFT pylons) and stations 2,5,8 (wing and centerline stations) as those are currently the only pylons wired for "smart" weapons at this time.

In addition, like any other store they would have to go through computer and flight testing to ensure that their carriage and release present no problems. That costs money.
