Units from the Royal Saudi Air Force’s 92nd Squadron are flying combat training missions over Nellis, AFB, Nev., says the Air Force. A half-dozen F-15S fighters flew from Saudi Arabia to Nevada on Aug. 6. RSAF pilots hadn’t been to Red Flag in 25 years.
RTX’s Raytheon unit was able to “significantly” extend the range of the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile using mostly software changes in experimental tests last year, expanding the reach and lethality of the standard U.S. dogfighting weapon, company officials said Sept. 15.
