    F-15 vs F-15

    I read somewhere (AFM I think) about one F-15C hitting another with an AIM-9M and damaging / destroying the port or starboard tailplane. The damaged A/C landed okay I think. This incident led to the USAF ceasing to use live missiles during training accoording to AFM.

    I heard that the JAF did the same thing. One F-15 downing another F-15. These are the only F-15 air-to-air losses.

    First of all if your only airdefence are some medium calibre AAA and shoulder fired missiles perhaps you shouldn’t buy any attack helos. Any fighter with a modern radar and modest AAM would be able to wipe out your fleet very quickly.
    Does this reputible source of your give reasons for discounting the Havoc and Cobra from the running?

    It is well known that an attack helicopter crew, properly trained in air-to-air combat and equipted with air-to-air missiles can take out any ground attack fighter. Even more effective if they have early warning systems (ground or areial) to direct their attack.

    Catching the whole fleet on the tarmac is a different story!

    Aegis weapons system

    All carrier groups deploy with other ships that have the Aegis weapons system, which can track even lonely seagulls in flight! So I thing the radar cross-section of an Iranian drone would be easily seen.
