If the weapons bays go where fuel tanks used to be, does that mean that these planes have a shorter range than the f-15s they are replacing?
Only 1 has been built apparently, so maybe they are just using the F-15E numbers but....
F-15 SE
Combat radius: 800+ nm (720 nmi for stealth A/A mission)[40] (920 miles (1,480 kilometres))
Ferry range: 2,400 mi (2,100 nmi (3,900 km)) with conformal fuel tank and three external fuel tanks
vs F-15 E
Combat radius: 790 mi (1,150 mi (max))
Ferry range: 2,400 mi (2,100 nmi, 3,900 km) with conformal fuel tank and three external fuel tanks
