I am happy that there is potential F 15 can do part of the jobs of JSF and

the ill fated F22.

Now it has one more role--to shoot ballistic missiles.

''Flight International reports that Lockheed is proposing a $137 million program to adapt its Patriot PAC-3 surface-to-air missiles for use on the USAF’s F-15C Eagle air superiority fighters. The missiles would reportedly be used to help the fighters kill ballistic missiles during the boost phase or mid-course phase, instead of hoping for a Patriot’s usual final phase intercept. Patriot PAC-3 missiles also have significantly longer range than the AIM-120 AMRAAM, creating the potential for wider coverage against cruise missiles and other aerial threats. In order to use an AIM-104 Patriot air-launched hit-to-kill (ALHTK) effectively, however, the F-15s would need to add IRST capability to track enemy missiles outside the atmosphere.''

POD launch, so Silent Eagle not applicable.

Note this is still a proposal, that Lockheed took a page from the Iranian Air Force playbook. Google for Hawk on F14.

The real use of this system is fairly dubious as the package has to have a another wave to open a corridor into say China, Iran or any of the ME states.

Whereas for North Korea, it could might get away with loitering at a standoff distance and dash in at the last possible minutes to intercept a TPD 2 at boost. Bring the package too close to shore to North Korea could cause issues at the DMZ.
