When F-15 Eagle Fired Longest Air-to-Air Missile Shot In History In 2021 #shorts

In March 2021, the F-15 Eagle downed a BQM-167 target drone by firing the longest air-to-air missile shot in history. An Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM, was fired over the Eglin Test and Training Range by an F-15C Eagle stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. The fighter wing declined to give a precise range since rivals might find that information useful. The weapon or aircraft used in the test may have also undergone some modification, but what is known is that the missile used in the test was an AIM-120D, which is the latest version of an all-weather, beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile that first saw service in the early 1990s. We can estimate the missile shot's range because the AIM-120D can travel up to 100 miles. The AIM-260 Integrated Superior Strategic Missile is a longer-range air-to-air missile that the US Air Force aims to use in the future to replace the AMRAAM. This weapon is expected to be better equipped to keep up with some of the systems developed by US rivals, such as the PL-15 missile of China's Air Force. The shot was part of attempts to create "long distance kill chain" capabilities.

Surprised the AIM-54 doesn't have the longest shot. The Phoenix was designed as an over-the-horizon missile.

Wow just F 15 got Achievement after Achievement so Landing on one wing In isreal
and Break record of SR 71 for Most highest service Seilling in highest hight of atmosphere
and now more F 15 Achievement
Wow F 15 is goat 🗿🐐
Pov : you are F 15 pilot Seeing this

[zahnatom]

that was not a PL-15 lmao
that was a Meteor with extra fins and "PL-15" written on it. PL-15 is much thicker and looks more like an amraam without the intakes

[CarnageXAddyz]

Bro just didn't mention the range through out the video but made a video on it

[paulmaurer]

Peace Through Strength and Superior Fire Power.
PERIOD!

[davidpadilla]

They wrote PL-15 over a meteor missile

[Andino.]

Dang, 100 liles is the size of Puerto Rico from east to west

[spinynorman]

"The fighter wing declined to give a precise range" invalidates your claim of the longest air to air missile shot in history. DATA, not vague claims, are what counts.

[edwelndiobel]

It costs a million dollars for ONE of them.

[napgimenez]

naahh, other countries knows already the range of this missile.

[chickenslapper]

Live next to Tyndall and thats fucking awesome

[Whaleydavey]

With thousands of commercial and leisure aircraft in the air at any one time around the world.
I’m not sure I’m happy about the prospect of fighters taking aim at targets 100-150 miles away.

[CAROLDDISCOVER-]

Has a range of 100 MI. How fast do planes fly? I believe they could cover 100 mi pretty quick in the plane. Just a thought and also what about the missiles designed to fire over The horizon

[guymitchell]

On the new F-15s they should have thrust vectoring engines and the upgraded avionics pkg. these would definitely make a huge improvement.

[Asftghii]

Please atleast give a metric conversion in your future videos

[shroud]

Ah. Its F-15c eagle. Not “sea eagle”

[mike]

I guess just TTS articles with random footage over it is how you do youtube videos these days.

[curiousgeorge]

And that's how much per shot!?$$🙄 Also you have to team it up with The correct avionics

Specifically, a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter and possibly a Su-24 strike fighter were reported to have been shot down by Su-57s at an extreme range of 217km after carrying out a strike on Russia's Belgorod region
