U.S Air Force for the first time has revealed its plan to load the new F-15EX Eagle II with a large long range air-to-air missile.

Air Force Magazine broke the news in its analysis of documents related to the service’s 2022 budget proposal.
It stated :
The F-15E/X is described in the papers as “an outsized weapons truck,” useful for carrying standoff weapons in a contested theater or performing air superiority in less-contested airspace. Interestingly, while the Air Force has mentioned that the F-15EX could launch the hypersonic, air-to-surface AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, the talking points say it can also carry an “outsize … air-to-air” weapon, as well.

It is perceived that the upcoming missile will counter China’s long-range air-to-air missile.

It is likely that the weapon being referred to is the AIM-260, a classified air-to-air missile revealed two years ago.

In this video Defense Updates analyzes why U.S. Air Force plans to arm F-15EX with "outsize … air-to-air" missile?
