U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagle Records Longest Known Air-To-Air Missile Shot
A USAF F-15C Eagle has achieved the longest known air-to-air missile shot ever.
While its most advanced variant, the F-15EX (recently officially named the “Eagle II”) was being delivered to the U.S. Air Force getting a lot of media attention, the “legacy” Eagle achieved yet another record: according to an official USAF statement, in March 2021, an F-15C fired an AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) at a BQM-167 subscale drone, resulting in the longest known air-to-air missile shot ever.
