Shhhhh. Don't tell Obama.
He will either scrap the program or give it to the Russians for a case of Vodka to serve at his Wednesday night cocktail parties.

Hmm, I thought Raytheon already demonstrated this technology. IIRC they took an AMRAAM, put a slightly modified Sidewinder (IR) seeker on it, and demonstrated the capability... ???
I would guess the PAC has a longer range, bigger engagement envelope. But it is a big beast too. Wonder if an F-15 could carry more than one or two of them? (and get up to significant altitude and speed). What's the load-out capability of an F-15 with AMRAAMs? Personally, I think I'd like more shots... But that's just me.

The speed and range of the F-15s would carry the PAC-3s far closer to their targets than was previously imagined possible and give them a boost of up to around 1,500 miles per hour, or faster than Mach 2, significantly improving their performance and the likelihood that they could intercept and destroy incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles.Can an F-15 do Mach 2 with externals?
