>>7817437So the F-15 was likely just for the photo op. There was a tomahawk developed to be launched from aircraft (I assume the B-52) but it was never put into service. The only air launched cruised missiles in the US inventory right now is the AGM-158 JASSM. The JASSM can actually be carried by the F-15E, as well as a ton of other aircraft. When the US, UK, and France launched a shitload of cruise missiles at targets in Syria in 2018, they launched them from just about everything platform they could. Ships, subs, planes. Two B-1 Lancers fired 19 JASSMs at the Barzah Research Center and destroyed it.
There may still be some remaining AGM-86B nuclear warhead cruise missiles carried by B-52s. Last I heard, the AGM-86's are going to be replaced by the AGM-181 LRSO. Which will also be launched from the B-52. Because that thing will still be flying during the First Martian War.
