USN Murder Hornet

[ChuckMK23]

Mil Aviation Social media is blowing up over reporting that "Murder Hornet" is a thing and means a embarked Rhino/Super Hornet with 5x AIM-120 + 4x AIM9X.

Is this indeed a thing?

Discuss.

I'll do you one better. How about 2 x AIM9X + 3 x AIM120 + 4 x AIM174B?



Edit: Also of you dropped the FLIR you could get another 120 on there.

With that load out what is the point of the pod or did mx just not want to unload it?

That's an OT jet so...other testing considerations?

Can't say I've heard this term before, but I have been mostly out of the VFA game for 5 years now. AIM-9X B2 is probably a good hedge. 5/0/4/G is a healthy load out for sure. The name is dorky, but I dig the idea.

In our day, I think we referred to that as "non-FC", since the drag count is >0.00001.

No love for the first combat use of Hellfire by HSM(L) at multiple targets? But there's a brag bullet about reducing sub Mx delays from 3+ years to...2 years.

Also, as an aside, the Florida and Georgia conducted TLAM strikes...at each other? That's a decent rivalry every year, I'll have you know.

What is the fuel endurance on that kind of load out?
