So why was it declassified? Maybe a reminder to Iran that we could kick their tails in the air any day of the year?
But USAF F-15Cs got their butt's kicked by the Indian AF in a recent exercise!
Two major factors stand out: None of the six 3rd Wing F-15Cs was equipped with the newest long-range, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars. These Raytheon APG-63(V)2 radars were designed to find small and stealthy targets. At India's request, the U.S. agreed to mock combat at 3-to-1 odds and without the use of simulated long-range, radar-guided AIM-120 Amraams that even the odds with beyond-visual-range kills.
we realized that within the constraints of the exercise we were going to have a very difficult time," Snowden says.
"You know we're there and we're not hiding," Snowden says. "But we didn't have the beyond-visual-range shot or the numerical advantage.
That was just a PR exercise to convince congress to buy more F-22s.
