PSA: OSINT is geolocating a tank from satellite imagery or scrubbing hundreds of public documents for relevant facts. SLOPINT (Scraped, Lifted, Other-people's Posts as INTelligence) involves scrolling some 400 follower account on social media, bookmarking or screenshotting their post, and filing it as your own reporting or throwing their content into a monetized youtube video. Two very different jobs.

@southtex97 Radars are closely coupled with their platforms. Especially for fifth and sixth gen platforms. You aren’t going to get much in return and you will destroy the two source supplier base of airborne fighter radars for little advantage in the way of performance and commonality.

@southtex97 The LRKCW game is now beyond organic sensor upgrades or capabilities. Those are more about multi-mode operations, survivability, and other missions and roles.

@NatSecLedger An Apg-85 derivative using the GAN T/R modules and the larger antenna in the EX could be very attractive in a strike eagle very long range A2A role. If for 200+ frames I bet NG would be very interested.

Thanks. I tried to restrict to 'resourced' decisions only. Plans need to be funded and it wasn't exactly a secret that the USAF wanted to do more with the EX than the original scope revealed by Will Roper but until now that was not really in the public funding profile. Good that it has now appeared.

I think this post highlights exactly what the friction is. There has not been a meaningful “plan” of any substance. Compliance with standards of strategic basing decisions has been less than optimum. However, not many informed on the subject ever thought the EX would be solely operated by the ANG. Ever. Your article provides a good scope of the additive EX capes and their relevance. Well done. static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/s…

I have yet to come across a prior budget docs, or official documents stating that the F-15EX would be officially heading to other units outside the ANG. Nothing that was resourced. Whether it was the 90 odd buy, the original 144 buy or the current 129 number, all pointed to these aircraft being with the ANG. If you can point to officially documented plans in the public domain prior to the FY27 budget docs and plans shared leading up to it, do share, and I'd be happy to amend. As the article states (after reviewing budget docs and other primary sourced materials) this plan is now clearly being resourced. The FY27 and forward looking plans, including recent Congressional actions indicate a potential willingness to put more EX's outside the Guard as originally planned for it. That's the shift the article is trying to highlight.

twz.com/f-15ex-to-be-b… Open source as far back as 2023 frames EX as a Joint Force capability. Not simply an “ANG platform”. The one for one just to sit CONUS alert seems to imply that all the goodness that EX will bring (outlined in your article very well) wasn’t thought through many years ago

The F-15EX as originally rolled out by the Trump 1.0 administration and subsequently framed by the Biden administration, was to be purely an ANG platform designed to replace its F-15C's with a single pilot flying with an empty back seat . No 'tiered' capability is being implied. Just factual information in that EX based on how the EX platform was rolled out and presented.

@NatSecLedger What is an “Air National Guard airplane”? Just the title of the piece alone portrays some sort of tiered capability that isn’t exactly flattering or correct.

All of this is subject to change. But I've used the changes we've seen between FY-20 through 24 framing of the program (through those plans and FYDP's) and the current FY27 plus FYDP changes as the basis of the commentary. I think the future of the EX outside of the Guard is probably secure. Question is how many more aircraft the AF ultimately gets. That's a decision that will ultimately be taken in the early 2030s.

@NatSecLedger This is some good analysis. Unmentioned is the fact that these bills are always amendment placeholders for the NDAA. HASC marks 4 JUN. SASC follows soon. Year 5 on the POM is questionable and SAF/FM and A4 knows it.

I never said you invented it. But it isn't needed. Its a heavy strike fighter like similar systems operational with a dozen or more countries around the world. Its most definitely not something that is unique in the sense of deserving a 'regional bomber' title upgrade. Remember when the DAF tried to relabel the the F-22 as F/A-22. I'm getting same vibes.

@NatSecLedger @Su35_FlankerM I didn’t invent that term it was used along with “theater bomber” by USAF in a series of proposals that never went anywhere, roughly between 2000 and 2010.

@ryanscottborman @Su35_FlankerM It's a heavy strike fighter. Same as other aircraft like the Russian and Chinese Flanker derived heavy strike fighters operated by those and several other nations around the world. That label already does the work. "Regional bomber" need not be invented :).

U.S. intelligence indicates Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is hiding in an undisclosed location with limited access to the outside world, relying on a network of couriers to receive and send messages, CBS News reports. U.S. officials say the arrangement has made it difficult for Iranian negotiators to communicate with the leadership, causing delays in responses to U.S. proposals on a potential deal. Khamenei has not been seen or heard publicly since before the war and is reportedly taking extreme precautions after U.S. and Israeli intelligence helped locate and eliminate much of Iran’s senior leadership. Officials said many Iranian leaders are spending weeks in fortified bunkers and avoiding direct communication unless necessary.
