Kadena F-15s Flew CAPs With Live Missiles Near Taiwan After China Held Drills In The Region.?

China dispatched frigates, bombers and fighter around Taiwan as U.S. lawmakers visited the island to show support; F-15C spotted flying with Live weapons at Kadena AB, Japan, as tensions in the region grow.

Photos taken on the afternoon of Apr. 16, 2022, show F-15C Eagles belonging to the 67th and 44th Fighter Squadrons, landing at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, carrying live AIM-120C AMRAAM and AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles. One of them also carried a Lockheed Martin’s AN/AAQ-33 SNIPER ATP (Advanced Targeting Pod), whereas none had the Legion Pod equipped (new to the 67th and 44th and still in the early stages of training).

The aircraft were returning to their homebase from a 7-hour mission during which they were supported by two KC-135 tankers. A source who wishes to remain anonymous confirmed us that the aircraft were part of a larger flight tasked with CAPs (Combat Air Patrols) near Taiwan where China conducted military drills following a “provocative” trip of a U.S. Congressional delegation to the island. In fact, on Friday Apr. 14, six lawmakers arrived at Taipei SongShan Airport for a two-day visit..

Loaded With ‘Live Missiles’, US Deployed F-15 Heavy-Weight Fighters In Response To Chinese J-20 Combat Patrols.In a show of force, the US Air Force (USAF) on April 16 reportedly dispatched F-15C long-range fighters, armed with live AIM-120C and AIM-9M Sidewinder missiles, from Kadena Air Base (KAB), Okinawa, Japan.

.Flights by the fighters carrying live air-to-air missiles are relatively rare, and the release of footage of such flights suggests an effort to signal an adversary at times of high tensions.

Recently, a military aviation blog published photos showing F-15C Eagles belonging to the 67th and 44th Fighter Squadrons, landing at KAB. The aircraft was returning from a 7-hour mission as part of Combat Air Patrols (CAPs) near Taiwan where China had conducted military drills coinciding with the visit of a US Congressional delegation to the island nation.

This operation is in response to the recent frequent release of wrong signals by the United States on the Taiwan issue,” Shi said, without mentioning the visiting US lawmakers.Also, shortly before that China announced the start of combat patrols by its most advanced J-20 Stealth fighter jet in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.The J-20 is China’s first fifth-generation fighter meant to be an air superiority platform and an analog to the American F-22 Raptor – considered the world’s premiere stealth fighter jet.While, the stealth feature of the aircraft poses a serious threat, it is doubtful if J-20s can put up much of a challenge to F-22s in terms of performance such as thrust and high-speed maneuverability.

.USA/-15/EX..Therefore, the USAF’s aging fleet of around 220 F-15C/D Eagles remains heavily relied upon by the service for air-superiority capabilities, both at home and abroad, and while their replacement has begun to arrive in the form of the F-15EX, the original F-15C/Ds have also been continuously upgraded to keep them combat-relevant in the coming years.The F-15C/D are also known to have a better thrust-to-weight ratio when compared to J-20 and they enjoy an unparalleled reputation as dogfighters who could leverage their superior thrust and excellent maneuverability to gain an advantageous position vis-à-vis the J-20 in a short-range combat engagement.

Beyond Visual Range Combat.However, considering the J-20’s low radar cross-section, the F-15 Eagle may have trouble detecting it at longer ranges, whereas, the J-20 with its advanced active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar should be able to easily detect non-stealthy F-15s.

So, F-15s would appear to be at a disadvantage in beyond visual range (BVR) combat, however, the continuing effort at maintaining their combat relevance has brought some upgrades to bridge this gap.
