F-15’s and F-16’s wont do it this time.

All they have for the job is their nukes.

F-15Is are perfectly capable of carrying several kinds of specialized munitions that could do the job. And they can be refueled in the air.

Regular F-15Cs can fly cover, while F-16s can suppress the ground defenses.

The tanker in that photo is from the USAF Reserve's 507th Refueling wing at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. But the Israelis have a few KC-707s, which use the same boom, and are similar to the KC-135, but not identical. This is supposedly one of them:

Earth penetrator weapons (even the nuke versions) range from 15,000 lbs up toward 40,000 lbs.

You are not going to get off the ground slinging one of those off the centerline of an F-15, and the wing stations would not manage it either..

If he did fly, he will burn up fuel at a prodigious rate and be about as slow and maneuverable as a sloth.

They need heavy bombers for that task, they dont have them.
